Former Indian opener Wasim Jaffer recently opened up on Shubman Gill’s recent performances in the Test series against West Indies. He believes that Gill has the skills to bat at any position in the longest format of cricket. However, he also pointed out that the young batter couldn’t make the most of his opportunities at No. 3 in the series.
Wasim Jaffer comments on Shubman Gill
Gill had requested to bat at No. 3 and he was given the chance. However, he couldn’t make the best out of the opportunity as he got out in two out of three innings. Jaffer acknowledged Gill’s talent but he isn’t surprised over the decision to bat at No. 3.
“He is a good player. A player like him can play anywhere from No. 1 to No. 5. Shubman Gill has a game like that, However, we have consistently seen him open. I am not surprised about his decision to choose No. 3. We openers had a problem sometimes when we fielded for 150 overs and had to go and face the new ball within 10 minutes. So No. 3 gives you a little cushion,” Jaffer said during a discussion on JioCinema.
The former opener gave Gill four out of ten for his performance against the Windies. While the low scores are not a massive concern at this early stage of his career, Jaffer advised Gill to work on strengthening his game, especially on slow pitches.
“I would give him four marks because he got two good opportunities. However, these are early days, it’s not a huge concern, but the tour has not been good,” Jaffer added.
