WTC Final 2023: Australian legend says THIS Indian star will struggle in England | IND vs AUS

India’s shining star Shubman Gill is all set to open the batting for India against Australia in their World Test Championship Final clash.

But Australian legend Greg Chappell has a few words of caution for the young star.

Speaking on the talk show Backstage with Boria, the former India head coach said, ‘There are little things that Shubman does a few things early in his innings that make him vulnerable to that length around off stump and if the ball bounces a little bit extra, he will be susceptible to nicking off behind the wicket. But he's a very good player. If they don't bowl, he will punish them.’

He added that Gill is likely to struggle in the English conditions like any other player, especially if the Australians bowl well, ‘The bowlers who will trouble him most are the ones who get that extra pace like Mitchell Starc. That can worry anyone. The extra pace gets good players out. The extra bit of bounce also gets good players out.’

But despite his warning for both sides heading into the ultimate showdown, Chappell praised Shubman Gill’s sheer talent and the way it has been nurtured by Team India.

‘Gill has played international cricket, has scored runs, He has played a lot of first-class cricket. So for a 22-year-old, he is an experienced cricketer,’ he said.
