IND vs WI / Gill in big danger, one mistake and Team India clean sheet!

IND vs WI: Shubman Gill… a player who is being considered as the next superstar of Indian cricket. The player whom veterans like Virat Kohli and Captain Rohit Sharma have predicted the future of Team India. Shubman Gill has also done such a performance in the last one year, after which World Cricket is saluting him. But Shubman Gill is in danger in the West Indies. He can also be out of Team India. One mistake can give them a big blow. You must be surprised to read this. But let us tell you that the circumstances are pointing in this direction.

Why can this happen with Shubman Gill? After all, what is missing in Shubman Gill? What is going wrong with Shubman Gill? Who else is becoming a big threat to Shubman Gill? You are going to get the answers to all these questions.

Shubman Gill is not safe in the test!

There is no doubt that Shubman Gill has tremendous talent. When this player freezes on the wicket, every bowler looks pale in front of him. But there is also a truth that till now Shubman has proved himself only in the white ball game. He is yet to prove himself in the red ball game i.e. Test cricket. Gill's Test career figures also confirm this.

Shubman Gill 'fails' more than passes in tests

While Shubman Gill's ODI average is more than 65, his batting average in T20 is over 40, whereas in Tests this player is scoring runs at an average of just 32.89. Gill has definitely scored 2 centuries in Test cricket but there is a huge lack of consistency in him. Gill has played 30 Test innings so far, out of which in 19 innings less than 30 runs have come out of his bat. Shubman Gill has been dismissed between 20 and 30 runs 5 times. Means Shubman Gill has got the start and he is also set at the crease but after that he has thrown his wicket. It is said in cricket that being set out is like a crime and Gill is making the same mistake.

What is lacking in Shubman Gill's technique?

Now the question is, is there any flaw in Shubman Gill's technique? Seeing his figures in first class cricket, everyone will answer this question in the negative. Gill's average in first class cricket is more than 50 but the other side of the coin is that a good average does not mean that the technique of the batsman is also good. Some such problem is also visible with Shubman Gill. Gill plays short balls very well but when it comes to driving outside the off-stump, he makes mistakes. Shubman Gill tries to drive the ball from a long distance, which is considered a major weakness in Test cricket.

Virat Kohli was also making a similar mistake on the tour of England in the year 2014 and as a result his bat remained silent there. It is clear that if Gill has to score runs, then he will have to control himself in the matter of driving the ball, otherwise he will be seen getting caught out in the slip itself. Interestingly, Shubman Gill has been dismissed the most by James Anderson four times in Test cricket, who specializes in getting the ball out.

Who has become a threat to Shubman Gill?

The danger for Shubman Gill has also increased because apart from him, two more young openers have come in Team India. Talking about Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rituraj Gaikwad, who have got a place in the Test team for the first time for the Test series against West Indies. Jaiswal averages more than 80 in first class cricket and Gaikwad has also proved himself there. . The technique of both Gaikwad and Jaiswal is considered perfect for Test cricket. Now if these two players perform well in the West Indies, then obviously the pressure will increase on Shubman Gill.

In such a situation, it is clear that the West Indies tour is very important for Gill. If the bat remains silent here, then they may have to give and take. Competition in Team India is very tough. When veterans like Rahane and Pujara can be dropped from Team India, then Gill's height is still very small.
