IND vs NZ: "We Saw How Shubman Gill And Rahul Tripathi Got Out While Trying To Do The Same" - Salman Butt

Indian Cricket Team won a hard-fought 2nd T20I match against New Zealand. The Men in Blue may have won the match by 6 wickets but they had to toil a lot. Shubman Gill this time was looking in good touch where he played a shot too many as he scored 11 runs in 9 balls where he struck 2 fours.

This time the skipper Mitchell Santner wasn’t amongst the wickets which hurt the team. New Zealand needed a flurry of wickets upfront but couldn’t as this time the batters applied a safe approach as India scored 29 runs in the power-play overs for the loss of 1 wicket.

Salman Butt on Shubman Gill & Rahul Tripathi

Salman Butt was speaking on his YouTube channel and made a remark on Shubman Gill & Rahul Tripathi. “Batters from both teams were run out in the match. There is a lot of confusion in the minds of batters when they are playing on such a track. They don’t know if they have to go for big shots or not,” said Salman Butt.

“One tries to play the sweep or the reverse sweep to counter the turn and bounce. He wants to think outside the box, and that causes his downfall. We saw how Shubman Gill and Rahul Tripathi got out while trying to do the same,” he added.

Concerns for New Zealand

The form of Glenn Phillips has now started to bother the Black Caps. The right-handed batter isn’t playing his natural game and has got into a shell. The batter should be used at the back end of the innings as he has looked in all sorts of trouble.

With the decider at Ahmedabad, both the teams can expect a run-fest as the dimensions of the ground are not that big. India would be hoping that the openers: Shubman Gill & Ishan Kishan play a thunderstorm knock and lay the foundation for the rest of the batting unit.
