I'm still not convinced with Shubhman Gill as number 3 in tests esp in overseas conditions considering his technique. I think KL Rahul should be the ideal choice to bat at 3 (esp in overseas tours) considering he's better suited technically.
I don't think technique is any issue with gill. He is as gifted technically as anybody else. The only thing that he is learning and yet to master is the temperament and the ability to read the game. These two things made Kohli one of the greatest to ever play the game because if you see Rohit sharma was more gifted than Kohli but kohli's mindset took him to another level in all formats. And gill I feel is on the same path with a little more natural talent.
KL is overrated. Jadeja and Axar have a better batting batting average than him in Tests. There are numerous young talents who deserve an opportunity since KL has crapped in 51 Test matches. Top 5 batsmen who deserve a spot in the XI: 1. Sarfaraz Khan 2. Musheer Khan 3. Pradosh Ranjan Paul (W) 4. Rinku Singh 5. Devdutt Paddikal
A great player of spin he his.. but we've witnessed that the ball pitching outside leg skidding on to pads (not turning) has troubled him a lot .. he anticipated and tried getting on the pitch of the ball but then the leg spin was the problem as he couldn't judge the fall and the spin hence getting an outside edge and git caught. In my opinion he should be a holding back puch player against the spin.
In early stages of career kl was so good to watch his attacking mindset was a treat to watch. But now he becomes really a tight batman i would say. And this is the problem with technical players they strangled so much in their technique so they missed the real essence of the game. They are always in search of picture perfect shots. Kl is confused about should he play or not and in that confusion he got his edge in world cup match. Same happening with Virat as well.
To win consistently overseas need stong middle order so need to make changes and give opportunities now to youngsters so they are ready. My pick Rohit, Jaiswal, Gill, Safraz, Jurel, Pant, allrounders, bowlers
No not at all. He is so fearful against the pace bowlers who bowl fast means really fast especially in red ball cricket. If you talk pujara he is diffrent kind of player altogether. And it is so early to say that he is poised to fill the boots of Kohli. Before his bad patch he was averaging above 58 today shubhman is avraging just 35 or 36 in enough sample size of matches. Just 1 century does not make any statement. I want to see how he performs in Australia against their pace bowlers who bowl fast push hard lengths to the batters, then we will decide.
Srikanth in a show with his son dubbed GILL as a waste and should never be selected. Yesterday in the same show with his son, he was praising him blah blah blah, why do senior cricketers like him do this. Shame on them.
Shubman Gill or any other Indian batsman for that matter , be it Yashaswi or Rahul or Sarfaraz must prove themselves in England.😅😅 Then only I can accept them.
Gill is a flat track bully, he doesn’t have a sound defence to be successful no 3, yes he will score runs when wickets become easy to bat on , that will mask big weakness he has with moving ball
Subhman, no doubt be one of the talented young players but in the last 25 innings Subhman Gill scored only one century , unfortunately Ruturaj Gaikwad is still waiting & performing consistently not getting a chance

He batted well in Australia in his debut tour, in England he got few starts but he hasn't played much tests there

That’s again a huge statement.

Australia will not expose gill 😂😂
Shubman Gill or any other Indian batsman for that matter , be it Yashaswi or Rahul or Sarfaraz must prove themselves in England.😅😅 Then only I can accept them.
South Africa is tougher place to bat than England
Gill will certainly have a better test career than Virat because he is far more talented than Virat and is temperamentally strong too.
Gill is a flat track bully, he doesn’t have a sound defence to be successful no 3, yes he will score runs when wickets become easy to bat on , that will mask big weakness he has with moving ball
Nowadays most of them are flat track bullies……..😂
Whenever Gill performs nicely, he tends to become a flat track bully for u guys.
Subhman, no doubt be one of the talented young players but in the last 25 innings Subhman Gill scored only one century , unfortunately Ruturaj Gaikwad is still waiting & performing consistently not getting a chance
Go get your stats right he has scored 3 centuries and 2 half centuries in his last 7 innings in test cricket
lolz idiot in his last test series vs england alone he scored 2 centuries and 90
Bro literally faked his stats just to talk about Ruturaj. Lol.
