Watch: Shubman Gill’s six off James Anderson gets Ben Stokes’ nod of approval | Cricket News – Times of India

[ad_1] NEW DELHI: Batsmen are generally tentative early in the day's play. That was how Test cricket was used to be played in the good old days.But modern day cricketers are fearless and don't have second thoughts while taking risks even when the opposition bowlers are fresh and charging in at full steam.That's exactly what happened on the second day of the fifth Test between India and England at Dharamshala.It was only the fourth over of the day and England's highest wicket-taker James Anderson was steaming in.On the second ball of the over, a nonchalant Shubman Gill charged down the pitch and lofted the full delivery bowled at 131 kmph handsomely straight down the ground into the crowd.So elegant was the shot that it left commentator Harsha Bhogle in awe and on air wondered what Gill h...

India vs England, 2nd Test: I am going to play how I play, says Shubman Gill | Cricket News – Times of India

[ad_1] VISAKHAPATNAM: India were not completely out of the jail when they started the third day of the second Test against England. Just 171 runs in front, they needed someone to put their hand up at the ACA-VDCA Stadium if they were to set England a stiff target on the third day. Shubman Gill answered the call for the hosts with his third Test century, a classy 104 (147b, 192min, 11x4, 2x6) that spared India the blushes. James Anderson was at the top of his game and the cheap dismissals of skipper Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal when play resumed on Sunday set India back considerably. Gill survived some anxious moments in the first hour but to his credit did not throw it away. “A lot was happening,” Gill said. “Me and Shreyas had a partnership and we tried to rotate the strike.” The I...

IND vs AFG: Shubman Gill dropped as Yashasvi Jaiswal returns to open alongside Rohit Sharma

[ad_1] Following a measly outing off 23 off 12 deliveries in the first of three T20Is, Shubman Gill was dropped from India’s playing XI for the second T20I against Afghanistan in Indore on Sunday. Swapping in place of the 24-year-old was left-handed Yashasvi Jaiswal. Gill, who had only last year scored a T20I hundred for India, has had a string of poor scores in the shortest format – six single digit scores out of the eight innings he has played after his century. FOLLOW IND vs AFG 2nd T20 LIVE UPDATES In Mohali, the right-handed batter was also involved in a terrible mix up which saw captain Rohit Sharma run out in the first over and exchange a few heated words with Gill.

‘Too aggressive in Test cricket’: Sunil Gavaskar deciphers Shubman Gill’s poor record

[ad_1] Just as the Indian batting was tumbling down like a house of cards in Centurion’s disastrous innings defeat to South Africa, a stat started doing rounds. After 35 innings in Test cricket, Shubman Gill had fewer runs (994) than Ravichandran Ashwin had in the format at the same juncture – 1006. In both the innings of the Boxing Day Test, the India number three had been removed cheaply (2 and 26), adding to his poor run in the format. While 2023 saw Gill amass an average of 63.36 from 26 innings, in 10 Test cricket innings his tally remains at 28.66. Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar tried to make sense of the contrasting set of performances. “I think he is playing a bit too aggressively in Test cricket. There is a slight difference when you play Test cricket vs T20I and ODI cricke...

‘What Rohit Sharma did in the 2019 World Cup; Shubman Gill could do the same for India this year’: Suresh Raina

[ad_1] 2011 World Cup winner Suresh Raina heaped praises on Shubman Gill and predicted that the youngster would replicate Rohit Sharma’s unreal 2019 World Cup campaign with the bat in England where the current Indian skipper ended up as the top run scorer (648 runs) with five tons. “What Rohit Sharma did in the 2019 World Cup; Gill could do the same for India this year. He’ll get 50 overs to bat, so it’s a takeoff point for his batting. I think he’s a born leader and he shows that in his game,” Raina said on JioCinema show ‘Home of the Blues: India Heroes’. “The form he’s playing in with his hand speed – it’s extremely strong. Spinners don’t know where to bowl to him and if fast bowlers don’t swing the ball, he can play those really well with a straight or a flick. His mindset will not ...
