In India’s opening game of the ongoing Asia Cup 2023, which was played against Pakistan, opening batsman Shubman Gill took quite some time to calm down but was unable to capitalise on that. Because wickets were falling from the same end, there was very little space for him to advance, and as a result, Gill took his time and was methodical in his approach. The cricket player, who was born in Punjab, however, was only able to score 10 runs after facing 32 deliveries before Haris Rauf took his wicket in the 15th over of the game.
Former India cricketer Gautam Gambhir, who was analysing Gill’s knock, remarked that the 23-year-old batsman needs to work on his technical shortcomings before he can make a name for himself on the international stage. In the previous year, he has been exceptional for India when playing cricket with a white ball; yet, just recently, his form has started to deteriorate when playing limited-overs matches. Gambhir continued by saying that he knows that Gill had to slow down against Pakistan due to the situation of the match, but he cautioned Gill that he cannot leave such a large space between his bat and pad in the next matches.
“It is a technical flaw, but I believe that he tried to play differently from his natural game because there were a lot of wickets falling from the other end,” the commentator said. According to what Gautam Gambhir said on Star Sports, “Rohit Sharma lost his wicket, then Virat Kohli lost his wicket, and after that, Shreyas Iyer also got out.”
“As a result, he was attempting to form a partnership. It was a terrific ball as well, but if you play while leaving such a large gap between your bat and your pad, a skilled bowler will be able to expose you as a cheater. “It is absolutely essential for Shubman Gill to work on this,” the 41-year-old person continued to elaborate.
It is necessary for Gill to either commit with your feet or with your head position. It was Irfan Pathan.
Irfan Pathan, who played cricket in the past, also voiced his displeasure at Shubman Gill’s removal. It was his opinion that the cricket player must either commit with his feet or through head posture in order to win, but Gill was unable to accomplish either of those things and Rauf was able to shake his stumps.
“You have to make a decision with either your feet or your head position in order to commit. Even when he was playing well and leaving deliveries, neither of those things were ever visible to us. Pathan pointed out that this is a minor issue that may be improved by the individual.
