vaul Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Best decision ! He will emerge as match winner just like Bumrah. express bowling, mancalledsting and Mosher 2 1 Link to comment
mancalledsting Posted September 12, 2019 Author Share Posted September 12, 2019 I feel he needs a long rope and for us to tolerate his early failures. First tour to South Africa is certainly a baptism of fire. Link to comment

Shaz1 Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 If he fails in his first game all knifes will be out. Must prove he has talent to surpass Kohli. Link to comment

Must prove he has talent to surpass Kohli. Yes that's the problem . Its not easy to succeed straight away at top level at such young age without a decent domestic experience especially in overseas tours. . Not sure how many of ICFERS have a realistic assessment of that . Few low scores and MC, BC , rona dhona will start making fun . At a level below , they look good but then few chinks will get exposed at top level ruthlessly. Then they need to go back again and rectify it and come back again. Fact that he has made it to test team is due to his exceptional talent and all in Indian set up believe in that. Am sure he will do decently in SC countries but i would be happy if he shows ability to stay in overseas conditions where he will be tested with bit of seam movement , bounce , pace and relentless accurate pace attack. Even if does not score a lot but looks decent and is able to stick it out in his first 8-10 tests , he would serve very well for next 10 years . If i am not wrong , even Babar Azam had a similar journey. Was piling up mountain of runs at U19 level. Could not make it big at top level for 3 + years. But then he worked on his weaknesses and has become the player that he is now. Edited September 14, 2019 by prudent_kreeda Shaz1 and Ankit_sharma03 2 Link to comment

More importantly, it is important that Kohli and Co. show that maturity in handling Gill and other young talented kids' careers. Every young player will need some time to transition from pre-international to internarional cricket. Even Kohli looked like a fish out of water in his first test series in the WI, and that was after he had experience of playing LOIs for 3 years. This has to be kept in mind by the Team management while handling any young kid. Under_Score 1 Link to comment
ShoonyaSifar Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Quite clear that Rohit is the first choice opener. Gill be warming the benches. Better for him to be released from the Test team (after the 12 has been picked for each test) and play more FC cricket as an opener. We have seen too many young players losing their form and confidence waiting for a chance while the TM keeps them away on one pretext or the other. Can’t let that happen to Gill.

First class Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Perfect time to upgrade him to international level. Very young, very talented ( and very stylish player ) and has done and passed the qualification test, FC cricket, IPL and team A games. Link to comment

Yeah I think its the case of believing in the talent to come through. Giving them set number of games to prove themselves before dumping them. If the talent is really worth the time they will come through by giving outstanding results. Link to comment

Deleted_User_1 Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Well as many chances Rohit got in tests, it would be criminal not to give him a good run. He can maximize his chances if also learns chuski on the side from Bewda! Link to comment
Moochad Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Am excited to see him start his career. Hopefully he outbats Rohit in the nets so he can debut. New players are better off debuting at home. Link to comment
