India wait for Gill to sort out away Test blues
Hindustan TimesMelbourne: There’s something magical about the sound of the ball hitting Shubman Gill’s bat. India's Shubman Gill highest score in his last seven away Tests is 36. Gill’s highest score in his last seven away Tests is 36 — a sign that he often gets starts but then gives it away. “Just a little bit that goes your way if you can get through those first 10-15 overs and get a bit of confidence, then you start feeling good and you start enjoying playing against the Kookaburra ball with the pace and bounce here in Australia.” “It’s just about getting through those first 20-30 balls for everybody and everyone’s trying their best to do that, and it’s a long series. We’ve played three games and five innings now, so I’m sure everyone will go back and come up with their own plans the next time we bat.” Gill has to fall back on the old diktat — give the first hour to the bowlers.
