SHASHWAT NISHANT

Poor Show
During his recent 10 Test innings, Shubman Gill's top score has been a mere 36, vs South Africa.
Run of form in question
Since scoring his last Test century vs AUS in March 2023, Gill has struggled with an avg of only 19.22 in his last 10 inns.
Falling Average
Despite playing 38 Test innings in his career, Shubman Gill's batting average stands at just 30.
Challenging Format
Since Shubman Gill shifted to the No. 3 position, he has accumulated a total of 142 runs in 8 innings.
No.3 Curse?
Shubman Gill had a fortunate escape earlier when Ben Stokes lost sight of the ball in the air. However, India's No. 3 was later dismissed by Tom Hartley
Chance Not Taken
In contrast to the apparent ease displayed by players like Jaiswal and Rahul, Shubman Gill seemed consistently caught on the crease.
Under Pressure
Rajat Patidar and Sarfaraz Khan are among those eagerly waiting for their opportunity. With Virat Kohli's return, Gill might find himself out of favour
