Shubman Gill, India’s rising star in the batting order, anticipates an exciting and challenging Test series against Bangladesh. The two nations will face off in Chennai on September 19 and Kanpur on September 27.
Gill, who has amassed 1492 runs in 25 Tests, believes Bangladesh poses a formidable threat. “Their fast bowlers and middle-order batters have shown impressive resilience in recent matches,” he said. “We can’t underestimate them.”
The series marks the return of Rishabh Pant, KL Rahul, and Virat Kohli to the Test team. Gill, who has transitioned to the number three batting position, acknowledges the challenges it presents.
“When you play in a different position, you have to prove yourself,” he said. “I had a slow start at number three, but I’m determined to convert my fifties into big hundreds.”
Gill’s performance in the recent 4-1 Test series victory against England, where he scored 452 runs at number three, boosted his confidence. “It was a great experience and gave me a lot of belief,” he said.
The series against Bangladesh will provide Gill with another opportunity to showcase his skills and contribute to India’s success. With his talent and determination, he is poised to play a pivotal role in the upcoming matches.
