Gavaskar Criticizes Gill's Technique After ODI Dismissal
Shubman Gill, the captain of the Indian cricket team, was out in a big match against New Zealand.
He was playing well but got out when the ball hit his stumps.
A famous cricket expert named Sunil Gavaskar said Gill made a mistake in how he was holding his bat.
Gavaskar thinks Gill should have kept his bat and pad close together, like he did in England, where he scored a lot of runs.
Another expert, Ravichandran Ashwin, explained Gavaskar's points with pictures.
Gavaskar also said some changes Gill made to his batting style were not good.
Overall, they are giving advice to help Gill improve his batting.
Shubman Gill was dismissed for 23 off 18 balls by Kyle Jamieson in the 3rd ODI against New Zealand in Indore.
Sunil Gavaskar criticized Gill's technique, particularly the gap between his bat and pad during the dismissal.
Gavaskar compared Gill's current technique unfavorably to his successful approach in England, where he scored 754 runs.
Gavaskar also criticized tactical changes to Gill's back-lift, calling them 'rubbish'.
Ravichandran Ashwin provided a detailed analysis of Gill's dismissal, supporting Gavaskar's critique.
