Shubman Gill Training Video: As the highly anticipated India vs Pakistan Super 4s clash approaches in the Asia Cup 2025, all eyes are on Shubman Gill, who is preparing intensely to reclaim his spot in India's T20 setup. The Indian opener, who made his T20I comeback after a long absence, has yet to make a big impact in the tournament so far.
Shubman Gill's Struggles Since Comeback
Gill returned to the Indian T20 side with an unbeaten 20 against the UAE, but followed it with underwhelming scores of 10 against Pakistan and 5 against Oman. With competition intensifying and pressure mounting, the young opener is now eyeing a match-defining innings in the crucial Super 4 stage against Pakistan.

Intense Practice Ahead of Pakistan Clash
On the evening of September 20, Gill was seen undergoing an intense net session under the watchful eye of batting coach Sitanshu Kotak. A video that has gone viral on social media shows Gill practicing diligently, facing the full range of Indian bowlers. Interestingly, even his opening partner Abhishek Sharma bowled extensively to him during the session - showing the team’s focus on match-like simulations in training.

Abhishek Sharma Piling On the Pressure
While Gill is still searching for form, Abhishek Sharma has emerged as India's standout performer in the Asia Cup 2025 so far. The young left-hander has given Team India explosive starts in all three matches, further intensifying the spotlight on Gill. With Abhishek’s consistency at the top, Gill will need a big knock to solidify his place in the playing XI.
Gill’s T20 Future on the Line
Despite being India’s Test captain and a mainstay in the ODI format, Shubman Gill’s position in T20Is remains uncertain. Named vice-captain for the tournament, Gill has been in and out of the shortest format. The upcoming match against Pakistan may very well determine his future as India’s preferred T20 opener.
If he can deliver under pressure, Gill could not only cement his place but also push Yashasvi Jaiswal out of contention as India’s long-term opening option in T20Is.
