wanted_desi Posted April 5, 2019 Posted April 5, 2019 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. express bowling, Under_Score and Mosher 3
vvvslaxman Posted April 5, 2019 Posted April 5, 2019 It is more like they are struggling to fit him in with Rana clicking up the order. Only place for him is Uthappa's place. Actually they could try that or they should drop Lynn use Gill up the order and use Brathwhite

vvvslaxman Posted April 5, 2019 Posted April 5, 2019 Current Role of Gill is watching Dre Russ from the other end, going nucleus on the opposition :) nevada 1

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. wanted_desi, nevada, Under_Score and 1 other 4

The Dark Horse Posted April 6, 2019 Posted April 6, 2019 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.
diehardpacer Posted April 6, 2019 Posted April 6, 2019 Uthappa averages 48 at SR of 135 in 4 games this season.Gill can do better than that. Stan AF 1

express bowling Posted April 6, 2019 Posted April 6, 2019 Gill is being totally wasted at 7 He is better than Lynn, Rana, Karthick or Utthappa. You don't treat a rare talent like this. diehardpacer and Mosher 1 1

jf1gp_1 Posted April 6, 2019 Posted April 6, 2019 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.

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

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! Mosher, Unstable Joe and diehardpacer 3
