Shubman Gill, the star batsman for India, acknowledged that he is still learning how to manage his workload and strive to become a successful all-format player. Recently, Shubman Gill has participated actively in all three of the national team’s sets. He is the vice-captain of the T20I team and the full-time captain of the Test and ODI teams.
Shubman Gill discussed how he has been handling his workload and described the obstacle as more of a mental than a physical one.
“How to handle that is still something I’m working on. I believe that since the Asia Cup, we have been playing back-to-back games, travelling to various nations, and alternating between formats every four to five days. Therefore, I’m also attempting to determine what will give me the best chance of performing and succeeding in each of the formats I plan to play.
According to India Today, Shubman Gill said, “The challenge is definitely more mental than physical.”
Cheteshwar Pujara, a former Indian cricket player, recently discussed Gill on the same topic. The former hitter shared his thoughts on the various difficulties that arise when switching from white-ball to red-format cricket.
He just led the Indian one-day team in Australia before playing T20 cricket. Now, he must abruptly switch from white-ball to red-ball cricket—not in Australia, but in India, where the conditions are entirely different. Adapting to new forms as fast as feasible will be his main difficulty. Test cricket requires patience, temperament, and the ability to swiftly adapt your game plan to the format. It’s always difficult for a top-tier player to achieve that,” he continued.
It has been difficult for Shubman Gill ever since the England tour, when he broke batting records, whether it is in the Asia Cup or the limited-overs series against Australia. Gill is one of the batters who will be expected to contribute to the runs as India continues their home domination in Test matches, and there will be high expectations for them to do so.
