IND vs SA: The Star Player Who Has Become a Headache for Team India!
Shubman Gill poor form IND vs SA: Team India faced a heavy 51-run defeat against South Africa in the second T20I at Mullanpur. But more than the loss, the biggest concern for fans and management is the continued failure of vice-captain Shubman Gill, who once again disappointed after taking the place of Sanju Samson.
Fans Furious at Gill’s Form
As India battles South Africa at home, Gill’s repeated failures have become the biggest talking point. Despite being given consistent backing by the selectors, Gill is unable to deliver crucial runs, which is hurting the team’s top order.
South Africa Level the Series 1-1
South Africa posted a massive 213/4, and India were bundled out for 162, leveling the 5-match series 1-1.
The crucial 3rd T20I will be played on December 14 in Dharamsala, where both teams aim to take the lead.
Shubman Gill — A Growing Problem for India’s Top Order
Gill’s current form has become a major setback for India. As the opener and T20 vice-captain, expectations are high, but his performances have not matched the responsibility.
Golden Duck in the 2nd T20
Chasing a big target, Gill was dismissed for a golden duck on the very first ball by Lungi Ngidi.
This early wicket pushed India under pressure right from the start.
He also failed in the first T20I, scoring just 4 runs.
Gill’s Worst Phase: No Fifty in Last 17 T20I Innings
A look at Shubman Gill’s recent statistics shows the depth of the problem:
No half-century in his last 17 T20I innings
Only 349 runs in these 17 innings
Average far below expectations for an opener
Cricket experts feel this is “not acceptable performance” for an opener, especially one trusted as vice-captain.
Will Gill Be Dropped? Sanju Samson in Red-Hot Form
With Gill’s poor form raising major concerns, his place in the playing XI is now under scrutiny.
Meanwhile, Sanju Samson is in excellent touch and has a much better T20 opening record.
Cricket insiders believe Samson could be a strong option to open with Abhishek Sharma.
Whether Gill will be continued or replaced in the Dharamsala T20 now remains the biggest question.
