IND vs AUS: Failed in 8 test matches… Aakash Chopra raised a big question about Shubman Gill
Shubman Gill, who was out of the Perth Test due to injury, looked in good rhythm in Adelaide. But he failed to score big. He scored 31 runs in the first innings and 28 runs in the second innings. His flop performance continued in Gabba as well. Gill was able to score just 1 run in the first innings at Gabba. After this, former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra exposed Gill. He said that Gill has not been able to score more than 40 runs in 16 innings outside Asia.
No 40+ score in 16 innings outside Asia
After Gill's failure, Aakash Chopra has expressed concern about his form. He said on his YouTube channel, 'We have to talk about Shubman Gill. There have been 16 innings outside Asia where you have not been able to cross the 40 mark. You have been out many times in single digits or early double digits. If you bat at number 3 in Tests and your score is like this, then it is a problem, and this will also be discussed.'
36 is his highest score in 8 tests
Shubman Gill is seen as the future star of Team India and he has also proved himself. However, Shubman Gill has not been able to perform well in the last eight Test matches outside Asia. He has played eight Tests outside Asia after the 2020-21 Australian tour. During this, he scored only 200 runs in 16 innings. Forget about a century, he could not even score a half century. His highest score is 36 runs.
Last time he played an innings of 91 runs at Gabba
In 2021, when Team India defeated Australia for the first time in Tests at the Gabba ground, Shubman Gill was also the hero of the victory. In response to Australia's 369 runs in the first innings, Team India was reduced to 336 runs. Gill then scored just 7 runs. But in the second innings, he laid the foundation for Team India's victory with his bat. Team India was given a target of 328 runs to win, then Rishabh Pant played an unbeaten innings of 89 runs. However, before Pant, Gill had made an important contribution of 91 runs.
