However, I believe the Indian team has agreed that Shubman Gill would now bat first in conjunction with Rohit Sharma going forward.
With the five-match T20I series between India and the West Indies tantalizingly poised at 2-1 in favour of the hosts, the bandwagon moves to the Broward County Stadium in Florida, USA, for the fourth game on Saturday evening. India came back strongly in the third match after two narrow losses, and Hardik Pandya’s men would like to carry the momentum into this must-win game. While the young Tilak Varma has been impressive with the bat on his debut tour, opener Shubman Gill has not managed to hit the peaks he’s generally known to.
So, does Team India have any concerns about his performance? According to RP Singh, a JioCinema specialist, Shubman Gill may already be causing concern for the Indian team because he hasn’t been able to score many significant runs in a row. On a few occasions, he has also struggled against left-arm spinners. Undoubtedly, the pitches present certain challenges, but if you play on a worldwide stage, you’ll come across a variety of playing surfaces. It’s not like Indian pitches will always be consistent, allowing you to play powerful strokes over the line.
Abhinav Mukund, a different specialist, stated: “India should be a little concerned about Shubman Gill’s form in this series. Nevertheless, he is a good player, and I am confident that he will figure it out. I believe that when he plays an offensive shot, he is being disregarded because he has gone too far into his shell.
Shubman Gill, unfortunately, didn’t get the huge score, but I don’t think it should cause him too much anxiety since we saw in the IPL how he was able to advance, make large hundreds, and serve as the anchor India needed at the top of the order. I would expect just that from him. Be the senior partner in that top order, take your time, it’s okay.
Shubman Gill will definitely go off.
Is there anything India has to do differently this time around given that the series is on the line? As batting is an important component for us, Singh stated: “The adjustment should mostly be in the batting strategy. Seven batters are currently in the game, and if the top four batsmen play well and one of them lasts till the 18th or 19th over, India will easily win the match. Additionally, the Florida pitch is good for batting.
