Shubman Gill will be closely watched among the Indian cricket team’s top stars for the World Test Championship final. The last year has been a fantastic time for the brisk starter. Gill has proven that he is the next big thing in world cricket, whether in Tests, ODIs, T20Is, or the recently concluded IPL.
As the WTC final approaches, the 23-year-old faces high expectations. This time, India will face Australia’s Pat Cummins for a chance to end their decade-long ICC title drought. However, ahead of the final, Australia great and former India coach Greg Chappell has identified a few areas where Gill may struggle.

“I have seen a little bit of him. I have seen him in Australia. The one thing that India has done well, probably any other team in world cricket, is that their developing players have played a lot of cricket. They have sure, they have played a lot of overseas cricket. So Shubman has played a lot of cricket,” Gregg Chappell said in an interview.
“I don’t wanna go into too much detail but I’m sure the Australians must have seen a couple of things that I have seen. There are little things that Shubman does a few things early in his innings that makes him vulnerable to that length around off stump and if the ball bounces a little bit extra, I think he will susceptible to nicking off behind the wicket. That will be an area that the Australians will focus on. But he’s a very good player. If they don’t bowl well, he will punish them.”
