Ravichandran Ashwin has blamed Shubman Gill’s failure to convert starts to technical flaws resulting out of the constant shift from red-ball to white-ball cricket. Taking to X, Ashwin went into full professor mode to provide a technical breakdown of Gill’s batting. ADVERTISEMENT“Sunny bhai is talking about how Shubman’s bat was really close to the pad in England where he made all his runs. In the second frame, Ashwin noted that Gill had judged the line early and “realigned his bat to meet the ball head on and is in superb position”. He pointed out that the bat now “needed to start curving in to meet the ball such that he doesn’t leave a gap between bat and ball”.
