Shubman Gill, who is often referred to as the “future of Indian batting,” hasn’t been able to have the same impact for India in T20 cricket as he has in ODI cricket. Gautam Gambhir, a former India opener, has issued a subtly worded caution to Gill following yet another subpar performance for the national side, feeling that the player “hasn’t found his feet in T20 format.” Gill missed out on another chance to establish himself as a key player for the Indian squad as he was removed for just 11 runs off of 9 balls.
Shubman’s difficulties against spin bowling were underlined by Gambhir during the second T20I match against New Zealand. Right-handed batters should practise managing spinners more, especially on turning wickets, he said.

Shubman Gill needs to improve his spin-fighting skills on a spinning wicket, in my opinion. He also had to contend with Bangladesh. With five fielders inside and good wickets to bat on, he has undoubtedly been outstanding in the 50-over format. However, you need to improve when the ball begins spinning, gripping, and bouncing as well. He will be put to the test not just against seam but also against spin, said to Gambhir on Star Sports.
Gambhir believes that Gill’s “fundamental game” is better fits to ODI cricket than T20 cricket. However, Prithvi Shaw is a player whose “fundamental game” is more suited to the shorter format.
He has yet to become comfortable playing international cricket in the T20 format. You must occasionally play at a faster pace. His fundamental style fits the 50-over format. Like Prithvi Shaw, whose fundamental natural style of play is ideal for T20 cricket. Shubman Gill is a player whose fundamental game was designed for the 50-over format. He will be able to play all three formats depending on how quickly he picks up on and adjusts to this format, according to Gambhir.
Shubman has totaled just 18 runs in the first two T20Is he’s played against New Zealand. In contrast, he had amassed over 350 runs in the same opponents’ three-match ODI series.
