While speaking to RevSportz, the girl later clarified that she is a big fan of Shubman Gill. The fan admitted that she was late, but that was only due to her medical condition as she was putting a bandage on her broken leg. Furthermore, he wished Shubman Gill best wishes for the upcoming match and wants him to get back to fitness.
“My leg is broken. I put on a bandage and came. I saw him briefly yesterday, but I couldn’t say anything because I started crying. I was a little late today because of my leg, so I couldn’t meet Shubman (Gill). But I hope he comes back,” said fan Shubman Gill.
Shubman Gill’s batting form
Shubman Gill has found it difficult to move forward so far. series. The 25-year-old has scored 60 runs in two Tests so far at an average of just 20. Being the third batsman in his team, India wants more runs from Gill at the top.
He is considered a future star of Indian cricket but needs to prove himself with the bat. Although Gill has been impressive in local Tests, he has struggled in overseas Test matches since his 91 at the Gabba during the 2020-21 Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
A lack of footwork and tendency to play aggressively has often caused problems for Gill. He has played 31 Tests so far and scored 1860 runs at an average of 35.76. The right-hander has hit 5 hundreds and 7 fifties in his career so far.
Rohit Sharma’s woes continue
Not only Shubman Gill but also Rohit Sharma is struggling to get fit. Rohit has scored 19 runs in two Tests so far at an average of 6.33. He missed the first test and made the team from the second test match.
The Indian captain changed his batting position to number 6 after KL Rahul’s success in the top order. But Rohit’s struggle for runs has continued. India need runs from two of their top batsmen to put pressure on Australia.
