    Shubman Gill reveals reason behind his recent Test woes

    What's the story

    Indian batter Shubman Gill has admitted to a recent battle of staying focused after scoring 25-30 runs in red-ball cricket.

    Notably, the problem was visible in his display in the five-match Test series against Australia.

    Despite the issue, Gill scored a brilliant second-innings century for Punjab on the third day of their Ranji Trophy match against Karnataka.

    However, it wasn't enough to save them from an innings and 207 runs defeat.

    Self-analysis

    Gill reflects on pressure and performance

    Gill voiced his concern regarding red-ball batting. He said he tends to put too much pressure on himself to score big runs after a good start.

    He confessed, "Sometimes I think with the red ball, in the matches that I play, I get very good 25-30 runs. I think in those moments, sometimes I put too much pressure on myself to be able to score big runs."

    Meanwhile, he then added that this wasn't how he had played his game.

    Performance recap

    Gill's performance in Australia and return to form

    During India's last tour of Australia, Gill had a disappointing run, scoring just 93 runs in six innings at an average of 18.60.

    Additionally, he was sidelined for the series opener in Perth due to injury and was dropped for the Boxing Day Test at MCG.

    However, his recent century in the Ranji Trophy match is expected to boost his confidence moving forward.

    Game plan

    Gill's strategy and satisfaction in recent innings

    Reflecting on his recent performance, Gill said, "I think any innings that we play at any level, it's very important to be able to get runs, get back in form and have that feel."

    He called his century "satisfying," particularly after getting out off an inside edge in the first innings.

    Additionally, he also stressed on the importance of playing competitive matches at this level for a player's development.

    Stats
