Gautam Gambhir’s Long Chat With Shubman Gill Comes as ODI Ranking Slips to No. 4

The India captain receives public backing from Shane Watson after a run of low white-ball scores.

Overview

  • Ahead of the 4th T20I at Carrara Oval in Gold Coast, Gambhir was filmed pulling Gill aside for an extended discussion during training as the series stands 1-1.
  • Gill’s recent returns on the tour read 10, 9 and 24 in the ODIs, followed by 37 not out, 5 and 15 in the T20Is so far.
  • The latest ICC ODI batting update moved Daryl Mitchell to No. 3 on 746 rating points, with Gill down to No. 4 on 745.
  • Watson called Gill “ridiculously talented” and predicted he will quickly adjust across formats through small technical and mindset tweaks.
  • Gill leads India in Tests and ODIs and is T20I vice-captain, a rise shaped by highs such as 754 runs in his first Test series as captain in England.
