Gill a big worry in KOs/finals

[Gollum]

Tests

 

21 WTC final: 28 and 8

 

23 WTC final: 13 and 18

 

ODIs

 

23 Asia Cup final: 27* (target was 51)

 

23 WC SF: 80(66) retired hurt

 

23 WC F: 4(7)

 

25 CT SF: 8(11)

 

25 CT F: 31(50)....carried by Rohit in that opening partnership

 

T20Is

 

25 Asia Cup final: 12(10) chasing a paltry 147

 

These are shocking numbers. Except that Wankhede SF, he has been an utter flop in high pressure games, across formats. 

 

Not good signs since he is earmarked to be our next all format captain. 

[Number]

He is in general not a good T20I batter. Playing against substandard attacks on Ahmedabad patta is not a good indicator of ability. He shouldn't be in the T20 team.

 

In ODIs I think he can do well. Even Kohli had a poor ODI knockout record for large part of his career. Gill already has a good WC SF knock.

Just now, Number said:

True, but Kohli's 35 in 2011 WC final is underrated. Then the 2013 CT final. 

 

Gill has 1 success (that 27* in 23 Asia Cup final could have been done by Bumrah as well) in 10 attempts so far, not good enough.
