After India’s 3-1 defeat in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, questions are being asked about every player of the team which proved to be a complete failure. These days Shubman Gill is also being criticized. Gill’s recent Test performances have been a worrying sign for his career. In the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia, Gill scored only 93 runs in 5 innings, due to which questions are being raised on his game.
Badrinath got angry at Gill
Shubman Gill was ruled out of the Perth Test due to injury and the team management did not include him in the playing eleven for the Melbourne Test, preferring three all-rounders – Ravindra Jadeja, Washington Sundar and Nitish. Kumar Reddy. Now former Indian batsman Subramaniam Badrinath has given a strong reaction on Gill’s performance and his attitude. He not only pointed out the flaws in Gill’s game, but also said that if he had been from Tamil Nadu, he would have been dropped from the team. Earlier, Kris Srikkanth had called Gill ‘overrated’.
Subramaniam Badrinath said, “Gill’s performance was not at the level that was expected from him. Whether he scores runs or not is a different matter, but you have to show intent and aggression. I had hope from him. “Australian bowlers will get tired.”
Praise for Australian players
Subramaniam Badrinath praised the partnership of Nathan McSweeney and Marnus Labuschagne, citing the example of Adelaide Test. He said, “Making the ball old and making it last longer is also a big contribution to the team. Labuschagne and McSweeney did this and tired Bumrah. This is a contribution to the team.”
Attack on Gill’s fielding
Subramaniam Badrinath continued his talk and said that if Shubman Gill had been from Tamil Nadu, he would have been dropped from the team by now. He also questioned Gill’s batting style and said, “You can’t say that I play like this. It is necessary to change the game according to the circumstances. Shubham has not shown this in this series. His fielding was also average. He slips and the points don’t last.
