‘Very, very ordinary’: Dinesh Karthik minces his words and gives a straightforward analysis of Shubman Gill

Because the spotlight continues to be on veterans under fire Virat Kohli And Rohit SharmaSeveral other members of the Indian team also did not perform. Kohli and Rohit’s struggles with the bat in Australia have caused concern, but talented Shubman Gill He also did not justify the trust placed in him by the team management. As Gill continues to search for his best form, the former India goalkeeper Dinesh Karthik highlighted a “technical flaw” in the batter’s playing style.

Gill’s three appearances in the series saw him score 31, 28 and 1. Karthik believes Gill needs to correct a “flaw” in his batting if he wants to succeed in Australia. Karthik also feels that Gill needs to change his approach a bit. At the moment he seems to be playing the same way he did in Australia, which is the wrong approach.

“I think Shubman Gill definitely has a little technical error with his push to the ball. When you play a lot of white ball cricket, you tend to do this. Travis Head does that too, but he has found a way to do it and I think players like Shubman Gill are trapped in the way they bat in India and the way they bat outside India,” Dinesh Karthik said on Creekbuzz.

“That is, the moment you see the ball released from the bowler, your mind tells you that it is a full ball and you need to attack it. Batsmen who travel overseas to places like Australia, England and South Africa get tuned up in practice when they see that fuller ball, especially against the new ball – A) they play with slightly soft hands, or B) they try focus on playing the ball as close to the body as possible or go away like Shubman Gill plays. in India, where he sees it lets go, catches the ball with steady hands. Nowadays in Australia sometimes, in places like the Gabba, it’s a little difficult to play with the front foot. So at the beginning of the pitch you have to tell yourself this, I have to do this. leave,” Karthik pointed out Shubman Gill’s critical flaw in his game.

Karthik didn’t mince his words as he criticized the right-handed batter for playing “regular shots” in Australia.

“For a No. 3 batsman who has been here for so long, Shubman Gill played a very, very ordinary shot, no harsh words there. And let’s be honest, the Indian batting players as a group haven’t been dismissed here for a while now and with every innings they put themselves under pressure,” concluded Karthik.
