jusarrived Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 The problem is I don’t think KKR needs Gill in this lineup . I can’t see anything wrong with their current top order . Lynn has done well for them in the past , narine can win matches on a good day everything he scores is a bonus and uthappa is very consistent though his game has become very conservative they won’t drop him .

Higher avg at low SR will more often lose them matches.If they did not have Russell,they could have lost all the 4 matches.It took Russell to hit above 250 SR to win all their games.His avg is high now due to a not out innings.Eventually that will come down.Basically,he is KKR's Rahane.

Austin 3:!6 Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 I have a feeling RCB will be most suited team for Gill. Under Kohli he will get to learn a lot and will improve him as a batsman.Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk Jimmy Cliff and Switchblade 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gill's T20 SR is 141 & avg 31.If he is handled properly,he can get better. Uthappa's overall T20 SR is 134 & avg 29.This season in 4 games he has 48 avg(1 not out) at 135 SR. If both newbie & established player have similar stats,pick the newbie.He is likely to get better once he reaches the peak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All else are average or below average T20 batsmen. Oh let me get it, are you implying that Narine can get into KKR team based on his batting alone?

Never expect such young batsmen to consistently deliver in T20 cricket. Right . Will remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S_pace Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 23 hours ago, Straight Drive said: 2018 IPL : Gill scored 203 runs in 11 innings. Lynn top scored for KKR with 491 runs in 16 innings. 2019: Gill has scored 25 runs in 3 innings. Lynn has scored 80 in 4. No way KKR can replace a proven T20 and T20i cricketer like Lynn unless he fails for two continous seasons for KKR. If franchisees drop players on one bad season like RCB dropped Gayle and Rahul for unproven players then it can hit back very very badly. Why don't you look at balls faced by both of them . That's not a fair comparison. One opens the inning and other one comes at time when nothing can be done or there's no role for him at that time.

One opens the inning and other one comes at time when nothing can be done or there's no role for him at that time. Russell, Hardik Pandya, Bravo, Miller, Pollard are all rounders and they have usually batted in lower middle order. They have scored more runs in many years for many franchisee teams. They are not even specialist batsmen. Yet they are outscoring lot of specialist batsmen even facing less balls. 2018 IPL Gill scored 203 runs in 139 balls at strike rate of 146 batting in end overs. Narine scored 357 in 188 at massive strike rate of 189.89 Lynn top scored for KKR with 491 runs and strike rate of 130.23. Gill cannot be picked ahead of Lynn and Narine. Lynn was KKRs top scorer last year and a proven T20 format player. No way is Gill better than him in T20 as of now. Narine is used as pinch hitter and he has had extremely good strike rate for KKR since he opened. Gill has not matched that strike rate even in SMA trophy which is of lesser quality than IPL. Even Uthappa who was leading run scorer or one of top 2 or 3 run scorers every year for KKR was dropped one down for Narine. Even Uthappa is waiting to get back his spot where he had success in IPL.

Bigg Brother Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 (edited) They have settled batting line up, why would they change it to manage one promising batsman?? Even Kohli wasnt given that much opportunity during first 2 IPL. Edited April 7, 2019 by Bigg Brother zen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vvvslaxman Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Emerging player of the award - Gill. Congrats. After sending useless fatso like Naik to open ahead of him he got his due. He got his due only after Indian team was announced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vvvslaxman Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Despite attempt to suppress GIll he won the Emerging player of the award Upto April 14th ( day before world cup squad announcement) Gill was batting down the order. After that date they pushed him to 3 and eventually to 1/2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gill is not a hitter and will not at all thrive if you give him just 5-10 balls to score 20 runs. He is like Kohli where he can hit but only after he is well set and is in hitting form. He is definitely someone who is fit for top 3 only in t20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
