Shubman Gill admits concerns in red-ball batting: I sometimes lose my focus
vain as Punjab got all out for 213 in the second innings and lost the match by an innings and 207 runs. Following his return to form after recent poor outings in the Test series against Australia, Gill opened up on his batting concerns in red-ball cricket and revealed that he sometimes puts too much pressure on himself to get big runs, which eventually leads to him losing his focus and concentration.
“Red-ball batting is a concern. Sometimes, I think with the red ball, in the matches that I play, I get very good 25-30 runs. I think in those moments, sometimes I put too much pressure on myself to be able to score big runs. I think that is not the way that I have grown up playing my game,” Gill told PTI.
“There is a certain zone that I am in, certain intent that I am in and sometimes I think I lose that because I put too much pressure on myself that I have to get big runs now that I am set. I think in those crucial moments, I sometimes lose my focus and concentration. I think it keeps you in the game all the time,” he added.
