Don’t Really Care About What People Are Saying: Shubman Gill Hits Back At Critics

India opener Shubman Gill has hit at critics after being criticised for his strike-rate in One-Day Internationals. The right-handed batsman recently opened the innings for Team India during the three-match ODI series and played a key role in the 3-0 series win. He finished the series as the highest run-scorer and was adjudged the Player of the Series.

But despite the runs tally, he has been facing criticism for not scoring those runs at a quicker pace. Gill finished with 205 runs at a strike-rate of just over 100. He even faced criticism after scoring a career-best 98 not out in the third and final ODI.

Shubman Gill further spoke about his displays with the bat in the Caribbean. The youngster said that he is satisfied with how he batted against the West Indies while also expressing his disappointment over not converting the starts in the first two matches into big scores.

I’m pretty satisfied, but having said that, I wasn’t very happy with the way I got out in the first couple of matches. Nonetheless, it was a really good experience for me overall to score those runs in the Caribbean. And yeah, getting those opportunities, too, was helpful,” he said.
