Shubman Gill - Being Wasted by KKR?

I don't really understand KKR thinking tank. They were very aggressive when bidding on Unknown Shubman, who has proven his worth in India A etc for number of years now. He is already being lined up to get into Indian Cricket team. SO, you would think that he would be developed by KKR, someone who can play at #3 role for years. But, you are giving that #3 slot to someone like Uthappa, who barely can cross SR of 120 and already on the way downhill.

 

Shaw, Pant, Iyer, Mayank: All of them are getting a good exposure in that top order. I do feel that any other team, SHubman would be batting in that top order, given his reputation and skills. Hopefully, he gets into other team in near future, where he can get that top order slot.

You think he was instructed to not to use him lol in the last edition KKD used vinay in 20th over for some unknown reason in the first 2 matches

Even looking at Gill while fielding he looks disenchanted with all this. They are treating him like a run of the mill domestic player to complete the XI.

 

KKR should just drop him and not discourage him further and instead can play any other domestic hack like Naik in his place.

Uthappa is among top 3 run scorers for KKR this season..why would a franchise replace him with a rookie...Agree Gill is once in a lifetime talent, but you need scope to do that. Personally I feel Lynn should be replaced by Gill and Brathwaite down the order but even he hasn't performed too bad.

 Everyone has been spoken about but the most obvious option will never be discussed. How the heck is Sunil Narine batting ahead of Gill ? infact why on earth is he opening batting ? The guy is living off a handful of innings. Its an experiment which paid off now move on, i cant believe they are continuing with him. He can swing his bat at 7 or 8 as well.

Actually it is to balance Lynn. Lynn can't bat against spin to save his life, whereas Narine will plunder them. If Narine is brought down, teams will start with spin against KKR. IMO, they should replace Lynn as he's limited. Team doesn't want to take the risk of changing a winning combo.

If Gill is as good as he is perceived then type of bowler shouldnt matter

Sundar is warming the benches for RCB, Yusuf is played instead of Abhishek Sharma who showed flashes of brilliance last season, Amit Mishra was played instead of Lamichane in the first few games, Parthiv is still playing for RCB. Lesser said about CSK, the better. At least Gill is played regularly, and not in the bench. Hopefully he'll get a chance up the order in the future!
