Shubman Gill is excited to play at the Gabba again, a venue that holds special memories for him. He played a key role in India’s historic win over Australia in 2021. This time, he aims to deliver another strong performance for his team.
Remembering the 2021 Gabba Test
Gill’s knock of 91 during the 2021 Gabba Test is still fresh in fans’ minds. His innings laid the foundation for India’s historic chase of 329 runs. Talking about the experience, Gill said, “Walking into the Gabba again after 2021 feels very nostalgic. That match was unforgettable for all of us.”
During that innings, Gill played some breathtaking shots, including a back-foot drive against Mitchell Starc that left commentators in awe. His clean and powerful strokes made a big impact.
Learning from Recent Challenges
Gill knows that every match brings new lessons. Reflecting on his recent performances, he admitted to mistakes. “In the first innings, I lost focus because of what was happening at the other end,” he said.
Playing under lights in pink-ball Tests has also been challenging. “The pink ball behaves differently at night. It’s harder to judge the seam and release, which makes batting tricky,” Gill explained.
Working on Consistency
While Gill often gets good starts, turning them into big scores has been an issue. He averages 36.45 in Tests, with many innings ending before he could reach fifty. “I know I need to improve my conversions,” he said. “The goal is to stay patient and balance aggression with control.”
The Challenge of Playing in Australia
Gill understands the intensity of playing in Australia. “The mental toughness required to stay focused for five days is the biggest challenge here,” Gill said. Shubman Gill is eager to make a strong impact at the Gabba.
