3rd T20I: No Need For Gill To Play Big Shots, Should Stick To Proper Strokes, Says Bangar
Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari: Former India batting coach Sanjay Bangar has advised Shubman Gill to rely on orthodox strokes to make runs in the third T20I against South Africa, rather than forcing big hits in the match to be played at the HPCA Stadium on Sunday evening.
Gill, already India’s captain in ODIs and Tests, is the vice-captain in T20Is, where Suryakumar Yadav leads the team. But Gill’s returns since coming back into the T20I team from the Asia Cup have raised questions. In 14 T20I innings this year, Gill has scored just 263 runs, while averaging 23.9 and the strike rate standing at 142.93, without a single fifty to show so far.
With the five-game T20I series between India and South Africa currently standing at 1-1, the focus shifts to Gill’s form ahead of the game in Dharamsala. “I’d clarify his role: no need for big shots—stick to proper cricketing strokes with so many quick scorers behind you.”
