Gautam Gambhir: Recently, the Indian team went on a tour to Sri Lanka. Both these teams took part in a series of three ODIs after three T20 matches. In the T20 series, Team India won the series 3-0 with complete dominance. However, the performance of the Men in Blue in the ODI series was not very good. The team lost the series 2-0.

During this series, the performance of one player was very poor. However, Gautam Gambhir recently handed over the command of the team to him. Not only this, he has also been appointed the vice-captain of ODI and T20 formats.

Actually we are talking about Shubman Gill. Instead of being dropped from the team, he is getting continuous opportunities.

Shubman Gill's recent performance has put him on the target of critics. Be it the T20 series against Zimbabwe or the T20 and ODI series against Sri Lanka, the right-handed batsman could not perform as expected.

While Gautam Gambhir appointed him as the vice-captain on the Sri Lanka tour, he could not prove his importance. In such a situation, now the question is being raised whether it is the right decision of the board to see Gill as the future captain.

The recent performance of this player has been like this

If we look at the recent performance of Shubman Gill, he scored 31, 2, 66, 58, 13 in the five-match T20 series against Zimbabwe. In the T20 series against Sri Lanka, the 24-year-old player contributed 34 runs in the first match and 39 runs in the second match.

However, he could not convert these small innings into fifty. His flop show continued in the three-match ODI series as well. Gill was out after scoring 16 runs in the first ODI, 35 runs in the second ODI and only 6 runs in the third ODI.
