Shubman Gill’s struggles in Test cricket continued during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series against Australia.
He managed just 93 runs in five innings, averaging under 20.
Gill missed the series opener in Perth because of an injury and was excluded from the playing XI in Melbourne as the team opted for three all-rounders: Ravindra Jadeja, Washington Sundar and Nitish Kumar Reddy.

‘In this series, I did not get it from Shubman. Even on the field, he was poor. He couldn’t stay in slip and point. What does he contribute to the team?’
Since his Test debut at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in December 2020, Gill has played 32 matches and averages a little over 35, a figure that falls short of the expectations surrounding his potential.
