Overview
- Shubman Gill was bowled by a Kyle Jamieson delivery that nipped back during India’s chase in the third ODI in Indore.
- On commentary, Sunil Gavaskar questioned Gill’s method against the incoming ball and dismissed calls to change his white‑ball backlift, citing Gill’s tight bat‑pad alignment during a 754‑run run in England.
- Ashwin shared a four‑image analysis on X explaining that a late‑opening gap between bat and pad and a firm bottom hand blocked the last‑moment adjustment to the inswinger.
- He framed the issue as a manageable technical detail that can arise when moving between formats, noting Gill had addressed it during Tests in England.
- Coverage also revisited prior assessments linking a recurring vulnerability to slow front‑foot weight transfer from cement‑track schooling, as the discussion remains driven by expert commentary rather than team statements.
