Shubman Gill’s lean patch in T20Is continued in the third match against Australia at the Bellerive Oval in Hobart. The Indian vice captain scored just 15 off 12 balls before Nathan Ellis trapped him leg before, ending another short stay at the crease.
Gill’s Struggles Continue
The delivery from Ellis angled in and struck Gill on the pads. The review confirmed what looked obvious the ball was hitting the stumps. Gill, who had started well in Canberra earlier, again failed to convert his start into a meaningful innings.
Fans Express Frustration
Social media lit up soon after his dismissal. Many fans questioned his place in the T20 side, asking why he continues to play despite repeated failures. Some demanded that Yashasvi Jaiswal be given a chance instead of “wasting matches” on Gill.
Pathan’s Honest Assessment
Former all-rounder Irfan Pathan joined the discussion, saying Gill’s main problem is not capitalising on opportunities. He noted that Gill replaced a batsman in form but has yet to deliver the level of consistency expected from a top-order player.
What Lies Ahead
With the series still alive, all eyes are now on Shubman Gill. If he doesn’t bounce back soon, the calls for a reshuffle at the top could become even louder, putting more pressure on the young opener to prove his worth.
