India marches towards a new era under the coaching of Gautam Gambhir, India will start their new assignment with Sri Lanka on July 27. India won the Zimbabwe series under the captaincy of Shubman Gill he won the first series under his captaincy despite losing the first match of the 5 T20I series.
Shubman Gill was included as a travel reserve for T20 World Cup but he showcased his form in the Zimbabwe series and now he is ready to kickstart in the Sri Lanka series, he is the deputy in both formats T20I he is deputy of Surya Kumar Yadav while his co-partner Rohit Sharma will be leading the side in ODIs.
Shubman Gill expresses his form in T20Is
Shubman Gill is an all-format player and has performed well in ODIs and Tests his numbers make him an even greater batsman in this format but when it comes to T20Is his form drops and can’t even generate scores despite he has scored one century. He was incredible in IPL in 2023 he scored almost 900 runs and it was the best season of his whole career, but when he plays for India his strike rate drops and so he is not consistent but he has improved himself in the Zimbabwe series and so with that form he will commence the Sri Lanka series. Shubman Gill said:
“My performance in T20Is in matches heading into the World Cup was not as per expectations. Hopefully, in this upcoming cycle in which we are playing, I think around 30-40 T20Is, I would look to perform better as a batter and the team would also look to improve,” Gill said.
Shubman Gill will open with Yashasvi Jaiswal as both also opened the innings in Zimbabwe and both have enough potential to smash big shots and score big runs, Shubman Gill speaks about his relationship with Yashasvi Jaiswal:
“We enjoy batting with each other, especially [because of] the kind of shots that we both play. We kind of complement each other. Being a left-right combination [helps]. We have had some good partnerships in T20Is. I think, there have been two 150-plus partnerships as well. Our understanding and communication are really good and hence we enjoy batting together.”
