Despite his second-innings performance, former cricketer Aakash Chopra emphasized the importance of Gill contributing in the first innings to set the match’s tone. Chopra noted visible issues in Gill’s batting but expressed confidence in the youngster’s resilience.
Aakash Chopra said: “Shubman Gill will be criticised a little because big performances are required from batters in the first innings. However, that doesn’t mean that second-innings runs are not important.”
“He has understood that he has visible problems. However, when he feels there are more chances of the game going in his favour, he is not going to give up. He felt that the pitch had become slow and the bowlers weren’t that sharp, so he could grab that opportunity.”
Gill has accumulated 252 runs across three Test matches, placing him as the fourth-highest run-scorer of the series. His social media antics and on-field performances continue to captivate cricket enthusiasts, cementing his position as a promising talent in Indian cricket.
