Shubman Gill is certainly a very talented cricketer but currently he is going through a bad phase. Since the time he has started playing at number 3 in red-ball cricket, he has scored only 189 runs in 9 innings and he is yet to score a fifty at number 3 position.
In the first test match against England which is currently being played at Hyderabad, Shubman Gill could manage only 23 runs and the former England cricketer Kevin Pietersen has one suggestion which may improve Shubman Gill’s game.
During a show, KP said, “He has somebody in the dressing room who changed my game: Rahul Dravid. I don’t know if he will watch this broadcast, but go and spend time with Gill and do the same stuff he talked to me about. Get him to hit the ball on the off-side, practice picking the lengths better, and rotation of the strike. Do things that will help him become a better player.”
Kevin Pietersen was quite upset with the fact that Shubman Gill was not able to rotate the strike, he said, “He’s a quality player in Shubman Gill, and no, I’m not disappointed in how he got out. I’m disappointed that he has not got that ability yet (to rotate strike). But then, he’s a kid. Give him that ability; give him that structure. If he rotates the strike and learns that from Rahul Dravid, and if the latter takes him under his wings, the world is his.”
Are you listening, Rahul Dravid?
