IND vs WI: "Another Vikram Rathour Casualty" - Twitter Slams Shubman Gill For Yet Another Failure In T20Is

The 23-year-old right-handed India National Cricket Team opening batsman Shubman Gill once again failed to perform in the ongoing five-match T20I series against the Rovman Powell-led West Indies National Cricket Team.

In the first two T20Is, the youngster failed to provide India with good starts and the Men In Blue lost those matches. He scored just 3 and 7 runs in the first two matches. Many expected that the talented batter will finally bounce back and perform well in the third game. However, that wasn’t the case.

Shubman Gill started off his innings with a four, but after that, he failed to get going. He played too cautiously and wasn’t able to add the runs to the scorecard.

On the second ball of the 5th over, pacer Alzarri Joseph ended Shubman Gill’s poor stay in the middle. The pacer bowled a short ball and Gill went for the pull shot. However, he wasn’t able to make a good connection and was caught by Charles at midwicket. The batter was extremely disappointed after getting out and he shouted in frustration. He scored just 6 runs off 11 balls, before walking back to the hut.

Gill departs for 6 as poor form continues.

Overall, the West Indies tour has been a horrible one for Shubman Gill. He has registered scores of 6(10), 10(11), 29*(37), 7(16),3 4(49), 85(92), 3(9), 7(9) and 6(11).

Also, Shubman Gill was slammed by the fans for not performing well outside the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. The youngster has scored 126 runs in Ahmedabad in just one innings and in the remaining 8 T20I innings at other venues, he has scored just 92 runs.

Not long ago we thought Shubman Gill is the next Virat Kohli! But I must say the youngster has to work a lot yet to even come close to being called something like that! #WIvIND

Horror tour for Shubman. Just hasn't looked in any flow.

Gill sacrificed himself to ensure we get to watch Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Varma bat together. ❤️

This is downright frustrating from Gill. You can't just keep missing golden opportunities like they're nothing, especially when there’s a whole queue of deserving players just dying to get that Indian call-up.

Gill might meet the fate of Rohit Sharma who lost his form ahead of the 2011 WC and missed out on a potential selection to the WC.
