Sunil Gavaskar
weighed in of Gill’s battles, stating the child is being a bit too aggressive in Test cricket.
“I believe he is playing a bit too strongly in Test cricket. There is a minor distinction when you play Test cricket vs T20I and ODI cricket. The distinction remains in the ball. The red ball moves a bit more than the white ball in the air and off the pitch. It bounces a bit more too. He must keep in that in mind,” Sunil Gavaskar stated on Star Sports.

“Gill was remarkable in the series versus Australia when India explored, and appeared like a gamer for the future. He’s batted well in ODIs which is his preferred format and done decently in T20s. In Tests, versus England, New Zealand, South Africa and West Indies, I do not believe he has actually carried out well. There is a concern mark.
“He started as an opener. He batted at No 3. Ultimately he wishes to bat at No. 4 is what I feel. He requires to begin scoring runs. There’s a minor technical shortage in his batting, too. He’s a gamer who likes to play mainly with his hands and does not rely generally on his feet. This method might match flat pitches and white ball cricket. That does not work in Test cricket,” the previous India opener described.
South Africa now have an undisputable 1-0 lead in the 2-Test series.
