Current Trend and Public Response
Indian team captain Suryakumar Yadav and opener Shubman Gill are struggling in T20 format. They did not perform well in the third T20 match against South Africa on Sunday. Because of this poor performance, most Indian cricket enthusiasts are disheartened.
Ongoing Form Problems

- Shubman Gill has notched up 291 runs in 2023.
Gill hasn’t scored a half-century since he started playing T20 opener consistently in September last year.
Third T20 Match Performance
- In the third game of T20 against South Africa, Shubman Gill had difficulty scoring runs quickly. He took time to settle on the crease but got out after scoring 28 runs. His performance in hitting seemed lacking in confidence.
