Shubman Gill: Shubman Gill got a warning, his place in ODI cricket is in danger, know what is the matter?
Former Pakistan cricketer Salman Butt has warned Shubman Gill about his ODI spot. Shubman Gill (Photo Source: Getty Images) Salman Butt warns Shubman Gill: Former Pakistani cricketer Salman Butt has warned Team India’s young opener and vice-captain Shubman Gill. He said that if he does not perform well consistently, he will lose his place in the team. In fact, Shubman Gill failed in the first ODI against Sri Lanka on August 2. He scored 16 runs in 35 balls and got caught after playing a bad shot. Salman Butt, who talked about Shubman Gill’s batting on his YouTube channel after this match, believes that he needs to perform consistently well. He further said that if he does not improve his batting, it will be difficult to remain in the ODI team. Former Pakistan cricketer Salman Butt warns Shubman Gill of his ODI spot “Shubman Gill has performed brilliantly in the last one and a half years. Gill has consistently performed excellently at par with the best batsmen. But since the ODI World Cup, he has been failing miserably. He is unable to give a proper start to the team.” “He is getting out after scoring just 20-25 runs. He plays many balls in the air and gets caught inside the circle. Gill loses concentration quickly. He is scoring 20-30 runs. This is a sad phase for him.” On the other hand, the Team India management is trying to groom Shubman Gill as their future captain. India’s chief selector Ajit Agarkar has also openly supported Gill’s skills and has hinted that Shubman Gill has been appointed vice-captain in all three formats to make him a full-fledged captain. For this reason, Shubman Gill was appointed vice-captain before the Sri Lanka tour and he was given the captaincy in the Zimbabwe tour. However, now Suryakumar Yadav has been given the captaincy of the T20 format, while Rohit will remain the captain in ODIs and Tests.

I think just like we have seen in the Pakistan team that all the players are focusing more on maintaining friendship, the same has been seen in the Sri Lankan team. My personal opinion is that the Sri Lankan women’s team performed better than them. The men’s team should learn from the women’s team how to have confidence in themselves.’ Currently, the Sri Lankan team is playing a three-match T20 series against India.
