Gill’s Got The Cushion That Perhaps Even Pujara Didn’t Get, Says Anil Kumble
On Shubman Gill: On Shubman Gill’s recent struggles in Test cricket, former India captain Anil Kumble said the right-handed batter has been provided with a cushion which probably even veteran batter Cheteshwar Pujara didn’t receive when he was in the national set-up.
After a great start to his Test career, Gill has found the going tough after moving to number three position. At Hyderabad, Gill struggled to break free before falling for 23, flicking straight to mid-wicket off debutant Tom Hartley in first innings. In the chase of 231, the tentative right-handed batter spooned a simple catch to short mid-off against Hartley and fell for a two-ball duck.
As of now, Gill has aggregated 173 runs at an average of 17.30 in his last 11 Test innings, with just one 30+ score to show. It stands in stark contrast of him amassing 1000+ runs in ODIs and becoming IPL 2023 top run-scorer last year.
