IND vs NEP: Harbhajan Singh Comments On Shubman Gill's Recent Form, Says 'There's Nothing Wrong With His Technique'

Former India spinner, Harbhajan Singh spoke on Shubman Gill’s recent form and said that there is nothing wrong with the India opener’s technique.

Shubman Gill’s form has been a major talking point in recent times. Many cricket pundits have criticized him for failing to score.

In India’s first match in Asia Cup 2023 against Pakistan, Shubman Gill scored only 10 runs after facing 32 balls. Haris Rauf dismissed him in the first ball of the 15th over. However, the match was cancelled without any result after rain spoiled the game.

While speaking to India Today, Harbhajan Singh believed that Shubman Gill’s current form is because of playing too much cricket.

The former India player added that Shubman Gill needs some rest after playing Indian Premier League (IPL) since it is a demanding tournament.

Harbhajan Singh explained how tiring IPL is since no player gets a break for one day, and added that Shubman Gill’s form is because of playing too much cricket in recent times.

The former player also said that the youngster is full of confidence and no one should doubt his talent.

“I think this is because of too much cricket. He has been playing for quite a while now. He had a great IPL. Every player needs some rest because IPL is a very demanding tournament. You go to travel and also play every second day. I feel he just needs a bit of break. He’s a quality player and that there’s no doubt about that,” Harbhajan Singh said.

Harbhajan Singh added that Shubman Gill has no wrong with his techniques and will come back in form and will start scoring runs.

Bhajji added that Shubman Gill has low confidence currently and once he gives time to himself, the player will come back.

“He will come back to form and start scoring runs. I believe there’s nothing wrong with his technique and they way he’s batting. But it’s just that his confidence is a bit low and I’m sure if he gives himself a bit more time, he’s going to come good,” he added.

Rohit Sharma-led India will take on Nepal in the fifth match of the Asia Cup 2023 on Monday (September 4th) at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in Kandy.
