Showers of runs and hundreds in international cricket between December 2022 and March 2023, followed by maximum runs and hundreds in the two months of IPL 2023. After performing like this in the first part of the year, it was expected that Team India's young opener Shubman Gill would take his brilliant performance to greater heights by the end of the year, but in the last 2 months, his batting came to the floor. The bad run in the Test series continues at the start of the ODIs as well.

Let us tell you that this tour of the Indian team is like a complete affair for Shubman Gill. Last year also the Indian team toured the West Indies for the ODI series and Shubman Gill played 3 ODIs on that tour. He returned to this format after a year and a half and Shubman Gill played innings of 64, 43, and 98 (not out) in three matches. Since then, he has been continuously raining runs in this format and in place of Shikhar Dhawan has now become the opening partner of the Indian team captain Rohit Sharma for the World Cup.
* Starting with Tests and continuing in ODIs as well:
Please tell that after 1 year, Indian batsman Shubman Gill returned to the Caribbean again. The last time he came back was at a time when he was playing only one format and was not fully set in that too. But in the present time, he has become an important part of the team in all three formats. The West Indies were weakening in front of him. It seemed that the run of excellent form that had been going on since December would continue here as well but nothing of the sort happened and he started off with a flop show in the Test series and has now continued in the ODIs as well.
Let us tell you that Shubman Gill played three innings in the Test series. His scores were six in the first match and 10, 29 (not out) in the second match. It is clear that he scored only 45 runs in 3 innings. Although his problems have been clearly visible in Tests for some time, yet he was expected to perform better in ODIs, but let us tell that in the first match played in Barbados, he could play only 16 balls and could score only 7 runs. Once again made the mistake of running the bat without footwork on the very outside ball and was caught in the slip.

* Same mistake again and again:
From Test to ODI matches, the same mistake of batsman Shubman Gill is being seen again and again. Which has put his technique in question again. Let us tell you that only 52 runs came out of his bat in 4 innings on the Caribbean tour, which is troubling, it is clear that he will play the remaining two matches of the series and then play 5 T20s as well. Even for the Asia Cup, his selection in the team is confirmed but Indian team captain Rohit Sharma and coach Rahul Dravid will have to take some special steps to get their young star back in form as soon as possible.
