Team India captain Shubman Gill, who came to prepare for the red ball before the Test series against New Zealand, has seen a very poor performance in the Ranji Trophy. Gill, who played for Punjab against Chhattisgarh, got out cheaply after scoring just 1 run.
This performance has dealt a huge blow to Shubman Gill’s practice hopes. The fans are also very disappointed with Gill getting out cheaply in this Elite Group B match being played at the PCA International Cricket Stadium, New Chandigarh. This performance of Gill has increased the tension of the fans.
Shubman Gill, who came to bat at number-4, performed very disappointingly. He was seen struggling to stay on the crease and became the victim of left arm spinner Ajay Mandal’s ball. Gill faced only 5 balls before getting out and could score only 1 run. Due to Gill’s early dismissal, the Punjab team came under pressure in the first innings.
Opportunity to prepare before New Zealand tour
Shubman Gill had left Punjab’s first Ranji match against Assam. But in this second round match against Chhattisgarh, he came on the field with the intention of practicing red-ball. India has to play an important two-match Test series against New Zealand next month.
This Test series is to start from November 19 in Wellington and the second Test is to be played in Christchurch from November 27. This series is very important from the point of view of the World Test Championship and Gill wanted to get a long practice at home before the international tour, but this short innings has overshadowed his plans.
The record has been strong
Shubman Gill’s bat may have been quiet in the Ranji Trophy match against Chhattisgarh, but his figures in international cricket are very impressive. If we look at the overall record of his career, he has left a special mark in all three formats.
In Test cricket, Gill has so far scored a total of 3043 runs in 77 innings of 43 matches at an average of 43.47, in which his best score has been 269 runs and during this period he has also scored 11 centuries and 9 half-centuries with his bat. His performance in ODI cricket has been amazing. He has scored 3713 runs in 69 innings of 70 ODI matches at an excellent average of 64.01, which also includes two double centuries.
