Former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra has given a huge statement on young Indian batter Aakash Chopra. He said that Shubman Gill must consistently perform well in order to maintain his position in India’s T20I team, without relying solely on his previous achievements.
On Tuesday, August 8, India will take on the West Indies in the third T20I of the five-match series in Providence, Guyana. In the first two matches, India faced losses, and Gill managed to score only 10 runs in these two innings.
While analysing the performance of Shubman Gill on his official Youtube Channel, he said that,”Shubman Gill will have to score runs. He played extremely well in the IPL but here it seems like he is just forcing the issue a bit too much. He is trying to play a big shot off every delivery but that’s not the Shubman Gill we know. Your place in the Indian team is like a rented house, you haven’t bought it.”
Aakash Chopra feels that Gill should not feel privileged on the basis of his past performances.
Chopra added,”If you don’t pay the rent for four-five matches, you are asked to vacate the house. Everyone gets that much opportunity only. If someone has paid rent for six months because he has scored a lot of runs, he gets a little leeway. Shubman Gill is in that category but it cannot be permanent.”
