Shubman Gill created two chances against Sri Lanka in the current series but failed to produce meaningful results. He scored in the series opener in Mumbai against Mahesh his Teekshana he was his LBW with 7 RBIs and in his second game in Pune Kasun he shorted Rajitha he sleeved he shot He missed the timing so badly that he was hit by five in the middle of the game.
Losses are more expensive than ever for Indian teams, especially when they are in the early stages of their international careers. Either way, it will be difficult to get on the roster first, followed by an endless struggle for him to get on the XI. If you fail the first few attempts, you may not get the next attempt. With at least two cricketers vying for every spot on the Indian side, it will be difficult to keep the spot. Shubman Gill is in a similar situation.
The right-hander has been unable to produce significant results in his two occasions against Sri Lanka in the current series after showing great performances in his batting open in the ODI where he advanced to the T20I side. bottom. He hit in the series opener in Mumbai Mahesh against Tekshana he had 7 RBI he was LBW and in his second game in Pune Kasun he shorted Rajtha he sleeved he shot He missed the timing so badly that he was hit by five in the middle of the game.
Currently, there is already talk of appointing Ruthuraj Gaikwad as the leader instead of Gil. Former Indian opener Wasim Jafar thinks Gaikwad should play in Saturday’s series decider at Rajkot. Gaikwad was in impeccable form for Maharashtra at the Vijay Hazare Trophy (India’s National 50-Over Tournament) where he scored 500 goals in just his five games, including two centuries.
“I think Ruthraj Gaikuwad has a chance. He scored a lot [in domestic cricket]. Shubman Gill, on the other hand, has not been in any particular contact in the last two matches. he was disappointed Makes me want to play Ruturaj Gaikwad. He’s been warming up the bench for a while,” Jafar said on his ESPNCricinfo.
Interestingly, Gaikwad is the one who replaced Gill in the XI where he only managed to score over 50 in his T20I of the nine he played. Jafar said he didn’t have to mess with his bowling lineup, despite having a nightmare day with the ball from young Arshdeep Singh, who threw a world-record five front-foot no-balls in the previous game.
“In the bowling department we support Arshdeep Singh, he had an unforgettable day (2nd T20I). His confidence takes another hit as we have to support him in this situation. No, except for one change in the batting division, we don’t see any other changes in the XI,” he added.
