Kris Srikkanth Criticizes Shubman Gill's Overseas Test Performance

The former Indian cricketer calls Gill 'overrated' and urges selectors to consider emerging domestic talent.

Kris Srikkanth has labeled Shubman Gill 'highly overrated' due to his inconsistent performances outside Asia, particularly in SENA countries.
Gill's recent struggles were highlighted during the 2024-25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy, where he averaged below 20 in Tests and was dropped for the fourth match.
Srikkanth criticized the Ajit Agarkar-led selection committee for persisting with Gill while overlooking players like Suryakumar Yadav, Ruturaj Gaikwad, and Sai Sudharsan.
India lost the Border-Gavaskar series 3-1, with poor performances from key batters including Gill, Rohit Sharma, and Virat Kohli drawing scrutiny.
Srikkanth emphasized the need to promote domestic stars excelling in first-class cricket and 'A' tours instead of giving repeated chances to underperforming players.
