Shubman Gill is upset with himself for wasting starts. Gill scored 64 and 43 in two One-Day Internationals against the West Indies.
Shubman Gill, India’s rising star, has been batting exceptionally well in the ongoing ODI series against the West Indies, with two solid starts. The right-hander has been content to play his shots on the powerplay and has taken an aggressive approach. The 22-year-old was recall to the ODI squad for the series after being out for more than a year. He has responded admirably thus far.
Gill batted brilliantly for 64 runs in the first ODI to set the tone for the Indian team to post a big total. But he was out by a run out. He quickly reached 43 in the second ODI, and he looked impressive in both innings, despite not yet reaching the three-figure mark. It’s no surprise he was disappointed by his inability to convert good starts.
