India lost the first match of the three-match T20 series 1-0 to New Zealand. This was India’s first defeat in Dhoni’s hometown Ranchi. Apart from Washington Sundar, no player could do anything special for India.
On Friday, the first of three T20 matches between India and New Zealand was played in Ranchi. The New Zealand team beat India in this match. This was India’s first T20 defeat in Dhoni’s birthplace of Ranchi. With this setback, Team India has fallen behind 1-0 in the series. Apart from Washington Sundar, no other player could make an impression for India. Team India could only score 155 runs while pursuing New Zealand’s aim of 177. There was one player in this match who the fans had great hopes for, but he disappointed everyone with his performance in T20. This player was outstanding in the recent ODI series.
However, in T20, this player’s bat has been entirely quiet. If this pattern persists, he may be dropped from the T20 squad. The management wants to give this guy, who was a standout for Team India in the ODI series against New Zealand, a go at T20 cricket. However, this guy continues to be a bust. Shubman Gill is the subject of our discussion.
Gill caused terror in the last ODI series, but his bat appears to be mute in T20. Gill got only 7 runs in the opening T20 against New Zealand. While Gill is setting records in ODIs one after the other, he is a dud in T20s. this trend continues, his T20 career will be jeopardised. Prithvi Shaw would have to wait for a berth in the playing 11 because to Shubman, according to Team India skipper Hardik Pandya. Shubman, though, crushed the captain’s aspirations.
Shubman Gill, India’s standout batter, continues to blow opportunities in T20 cricket. Gill may be dropped from the T20 team due to a lack of runs with the bat. In T20 cricket, there are several players that can step in for Gill. Players like as Prithvi Shaw and Rituraj Gaikwad can step in for Gill as openers. Both of these guys have lately experienced a lot of success in domestic cricket. At the same time, these guys’ strike rates have been amazing.
Gill has appeared in four T20 International matches for India. He has only scored 65 runs at an average of 16.45 in these. India won the toss in this match and choose to bowl. The New Zealand squad, who batted first, took an aggressive approach. Despite the quick start, the Kiwis only managed 176 runs in 20 overs. When Team India came down to chase the 177-run target, they lost three wickets in a row. India’s score at one point was three wickets for 15 runs. Suryakumar Yadav, the world’s top T20 batsman, took charge from there, but after his wicket fell, India’s innings failed once more, and Team India was forced to forfeit the match.
