Gill needs to back himself, he's changed things up too much: Ponting

Deccan Chronicle  

Melbourne: India top-order batter Shubman Gill has made far too many changes in his batting approach, which is hindering his run-scoring ability on away tours, feels former Australian captain Ricky Pointing, adding that the way out for the young cricketer is to trust his instincts.Gill missed the opening Test of the Border-Gavasker Trophy in Perth due to a thumb injury he suffered during India's simulated training game. Ponting said he had observed several changes in Gill's technique during the second Test at Adelaide, which were impeding his ability to score runs. Gill's composed 91 at the Gabba during the 2021 tour had helped India clinch a historic series win, but since then he has scored just one Test ton away from home -- in Bangladesh in 2022. Gill averages 23.8 across nine Tests in England, Bangladesh, the West Indies, South Africa and Australia but at home he has accumulated 1,177 runs and four centuries across 17 Tests at an average of 42.03.
