Former Pakistan cricketer Danish Kaneria has backed an ‘exciting young cricketer’ to replace Indian opener Shubman Gill for the third and final T20I of the three-match series against New Zealand.
With Shubman Gill struggling to translate his One Day International (ODI) form in the shortest format of the game, former Pakistan cricketer Danish Kaneria has backed an ‘exciting young cricketer’ to replace the Indian opener for the third and final T20I of the three-match series against New Zealand. Gill, who smashed a record-breaking ODI double-century against the Black Caps, has failed to fire for the hosts in the ongoing T20I series.
Gill perished for cheap (11 off 9 balls) in the low-scoring thriller between India and New Zealand at Lucknow on Sunday. Gill also had a forgetful outing against New Zealand in the 1st T20I as the Indian opener only managed to score 7 off 6 balls. Kaneria, a former Pakistan cricketer, has spoken out about Gill’s low form on his YouTube channel, urging the Indian think tank to replace India’s opener with Prithvi Shaw for the upcoming series playoff between India and New Zealand. I was.
“It’s the last game. I’ve seen Shubman Gill. Prithvi Shaw is an exciting young cricketer. He is known for his attacking game. You can give him a chance instead of Shubman Gill. The show has talent. If he plays consistently, he can do amazing things,” kaneria said.
Opener Show returned to the Indian side after beating the second highest first-class score by an Indian batsman in the Ranji Trophy. However, Shaw did not appear in the first two matches of the New Zealand Series. The Delhi Capitals (DC) star last played in India in July 2021.
Kaneria called Gil a great batsman, but the former Pakistani spinner and full-time cricket expert believes the Indian batsman still has room for improvement. No doubt about it, but he needs to look at his hitting mistakes, he needs to work on the spin bowlers, India won, but there is room for improvement. It can be difficult conditions,” added kaneria.
