In 2021, Chamke Gill and Pant flopped in Australia this time, do you know the reason? – News-Patiala Punjabi

It was three years ago when India got a new age hero from the grounds of the Gabba, on whom all the cricket pundits were ready to place big bets. In 2021, when the Indian team won the Test match in Brisbane, Rishabh Pant and Shubman Gill became the heroes of the victory. At that time, these two young players had neither a tag nor a burden of expectations. But these two players shined and were seen as the faces that would take Indian cricket forward. When these two players returned to Australia after three years, they had made a name for themselves. Some were calling him a match winner, some a superstar and some a fearless cricketer. But what happened on this tour of Australia has surprised everyone. Shubman Gill’s game plan is surprising everyone, while Pant’s carelessness is surprising all cricket lovers.

Gill did not play in the Perth Test due to being unfit and did not look like he was playing when he played in Adelaide. A similar situation occurred in Brisbane’s first innings in 2021, with Gill batting aggressively against short-pitched bowling or three-quarter-length balls. At that time the Australian bowlers could not analyze his technique. This time in 2024, when Shubman Gill came to Adelaide, the plan of the host bowlers was ready. The balls were pitched against Gill and aimed at the wicket. Gill got out in Adelaide and got LBW. done Gill was caught in the gully while driving an over pitched ball. It is clear that he had no solution to the trap laid against Gill in both the Test matches. Gill has scored a total of 60 runs in 3 innings so far.

Pant not playing along with Gill is also a big problem for the Indian team, which has scored only 96 runs in 5 innings. Australian captain Pat Cummins upset him a lot. Cummins has dismissed Pant 3 times in the last 5 innings. Before this, they could not get Pant out even once. For the past few years, he has been India’s biggest ‘match winner’ in Test cricket. Especially abroad. Pant has scored just 96 runs in Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. The average is 19.20. Australia had a complete plan against Pant as well. He also consistently bowled at drive length which resulted in Pant’s dismissal pattern being mostly the same. Team India is already very worried about the form of the senior batsmen, now the two young match winners of the team are also struggling with the Australian bowlers, which is no less than a warning bell in the series.
