Sanjay Bangar reaction Shubman gill batting: Shubman Gill has not been able to explode with the bat for some time. Former Indian batting coach Sanjay Bangar has exposed the weakness of this right-handed batsman. Bangar says that Gill’s biggest weakness is his inability to play straight balls.
New Delhi. Shubman Gill is continuously flopping in batting. Veterans are expressing concern over his form. Former batting coach of the Indian team, Sanjay Bangar has pointed out Gill’s weakness. Bangar has told where Gill is making mistakes. He said that Shubman Gill’s weakness of not being able to play straight balls is a cause for concern. Gill could score only 32 runs in three matches of the T20 series against South Africa.
In the Game Plan program on Geostar, Sanjay Bangar said that Gill seems comfortable on the balls going outside the off stump but is not able to play the straight balls. Bangar said, ‘Initially his footwork was quite positive but in more than 28 matches, if he hits three or four boundaries, he is not able to play straight balls. His strike rate against straight balls is very bad. Praising young opener Abhishek Sharma, he said, ‘He plays with a very aggressive mindset. He has the ability to beat the ball, especially over the covers, which is a special skill.
Shubman Gill’s bat is rusted.
Bangar also praised the all-round contribution of Hardik Pandya. He said, ‘Pandya’s all-round performance gives balance to the team.’ Gill could score only 291 runs in 15 innings at a strike rate of 137.3. In the third T20 against South Africa here, he scored 28 runs in 28 balls.
India is close to winning the five-match T20 series against South Africa. The Indian team is ahead 2-1 in the series. Team India can win the series by winning the Lucknow T20 match. The Indian team is riding on the chariot of victory. The fourth T20 is being played in Lucknow where India has played the first three T20s and has not lost during this period.
