Former head coach Ravi Shastri has said that Shubman Gill will become a better player if he does not get a place in the T20 World Cup 2024. Gill has been kept in the list of reserve players for the World Cup.
Gujarat Titans captain Shubman Gill played an important role in helping the team win by scoring a century against Chennai Super Kings. However, Gill has failed to make a place in the Indian team selected for the T20 World Cup 2024. He has been kept in the list of reserve players. Now former Indian head coach Ravi Shastri has expressed his reaction on this matter. Shastri said that players like him will play in any XI and he will become a better player if he does not get a place in the T20 World Cup 2024.
Shastri said, “He (Gill) must be hurting. He should be in pain. He should look at it positively and try to get better. A player like him will go to any team, but the talent in India is like this. That he doesn't get a place, he may not be in the World Cup team but he will take it seriously. This will help him become a better player.
Gujarat captain Gill has played 12 matches so far in IPL 2024 and has scored 426 runs at a strike rate of 147.40. During this period, one century and 2 half-centuries have been seen from his bat. If we talk about Gujarat, the team has not been successful in performing well. Out of the 12 matches played so far this season, they have won only 5 and lost 7. He is at eighth position in the points table. Gujarat's hopes of reaching the playoffs are still alive. Gujarat's next match will be against Kolkata Knight Riders on May 13 at the Narendra Modi Stadium.
