Shubman Gill’s confession: Indian batsman Shubman Gill has admitted that, ‘I lose concentration after scoring 25-30 runs in red ball cricket. The reason behind this is that after scoring 25-30 runs, there is pressure on me to score big.
Shubman Gill, who came to play in Ranji Trophy after a long time, was out early in the first innings. But in the second innings he scored a century for Punjab. However, his innings did not help the team. Because, Punjab defeated Karnataka by an innings and 207 runs.
I put pressure on myself to score big: Gill
After the match, Shubman Gill said, ‘Batting with the red ball is a matter of concern for me. Sometimes I feel that when I play with the red ball, I score 25-30 good runs. Even though I have the ability to score big at that level, I still take more pressure on myself. I play in a certain area. I put pressure on myself that I have to score big. In those moments I feel as if I am losing my concentration. As I continue to play, I feel the best cricket in me as a player comes out. When you’re playing well, it’s important to stay in that zone as long as possible. That’s what I was trying to do when I was batting.
Gill’s disappointing performance against Australia
In the recent 6 Test innings played against Australia, Gill scored 93 runs at an average of 18.60. Due to injury, he could not play in the Parth Test and was ruled out of the Boxing Day Test match. However, now his confidence has increased after scoring a century.
