Veteran warned Shubman Gill, said - If he does not perform in the next test...
Shubman Gill is continuously proving to be a flop in Test cricket. Because of this, he is also becoming a victim of critics. Meanwhile, Dinesh Karthik has warned Shubman Gill. He said that if he is not able to perform well in the next test, his place will be in trouble.
After Team India's shameful performance in the first Test against South Africa, questions are being raised about the ability of SENA (South Africa, England, New Zealand and Australia) countries. Since Virat Kohli stepped down from Test captaincy, the Indian team has not been able to win a single Test in SENA countries. Many players in the team are not able to live up to the expectations, but former wicketkeeper-batsman Dinesh Karthik has raised questions about Shubman Gill. Dinesh Karthik has warned Shubman Gill. He said that if he is not able to perform well in the next test, his place will be in trouble.
Dinesh Karthik said on Cricbuzz that Shubman Gill is not able to live up to people's expectations. I think he would also be aware that if you are scoring an average of 30 in 20 Tests then you would consider yourself a bit lucky. If Gill does not perform well in the next Test, his place will be in danger.
Karthik further said that if we talk about the replacement of Shubman Gill, players like Sarfaraz Khan and Rajat Patidar are in the domestic circuit, and are looking for opportunities in Test cricket. He said that the only name we are missing in middle-order batting is Sarfaraz Khan.
Karthik said that I think Sarfaraz will be able to make a place in the team sooner than he is thinking now. Apart from this, you do not have any other name in the middle order right now. Rajat Patidar is also a strong contender, I believe he will consider this also soon.
