IND vs ENG: Veteran cricketer gives BIG advice to Shubman Gill ahead of 2nd Test, says...
Team India Test captain Shubman Gill. (PIC - X) New Delhi: Team India is under fire after the 5-wicket defeat in the first Test against England at Headingley, Leeds. Coach Gautam Gambhir's planning and Shubman Gill's captaincy are being criticised. It is being said about Gill that he did not use some bowlers properly on the last day of the match. If he had done so, the result of the match could have been different. England's team achieved the target of 371 runs on the fifth day at the loss of 5 wickets and took a 1-0 lead in the series. Shardul Thakur was failing in the 1st Test Indian star batter Ajinkya Rahane has asked captain Shubman Gill to give more bowling opportunities to all-rounder Shardul Thakur. Shardul's performance has been very poor during the match. He could score only 5 runs in both the innings combined. Apart from this, he got a chance to bowl in a total of 16 overs and he could take only two wickets. On his YouTube channel, Rahane explained in detail about Shardul's role. Ajinkya Rahane's advice to Shubman Gill 'I think the role of an all-rounder is very important. Shardul Thakur has been an experienced player and has done well in Test cricket abroad. I want to see more overs from Shardul. If the Indian team can use Shardul Thakur in a better way, it will be really great. What I have seen with him, he can swing the ball both ways and he is a wicket-taking bowler. If Shardul can bowl as the first change or even given the new ball, he can swing it both ways.' Former captain Ajinkya Rahane had a special plan Rahane suggested a change in bowling strategy to make Shardul more effective on the field. He said, 'The Dukes ball usually starts changing after 10 or 12 overs. If Shardul can start bowling with Bumrah and Siraj can come as a change, it would be great. I would like to see Shardul bowling more overs. Give him that freedom, he will get you more wickets.' Ajinkya Rahane praised Jasprit Bumrah Rahane, who won the Test series in Australia under his captaincy, said, 'Bumrah's five-wicket haul in the first innings was amazing. Apart from his five wickets, what I liked about Bumrah was his intent. The way he was running in his run-up. His intensity during his bowling was amazing. The line and length he bowled. He was aggressive throughout in his bowling approach. I would like to see support from the other end. Bumrah is obviously bowling at his aggressive length but if he can get support from Siraj and Prasidh, it will be great for him. You don't want Bumrah to come under pressure and start bowling too many overs and put pressure on the team.'

Ajinkya Rahane Sends Direct Message To Shubman Gill, Demands "More Freedom" For 1st Test Flop
India lost the opening Test of the five-match series against England by 5 wickets in Leeds. Among the poor performers for the side during the game was Shardul Thakur. The all-rounder failed to prove his worth in the game. He scored only five runs across two innings and picked just two wickets. Shardul got to bowl only 16 overs in the entire game and his limited bowling hinted that India captain Shubman Gill was not confident with the bowler on the flat surface at Headingley, Leeds. Out-of-favour India player Ajinkya Rahane highlighted the importance of an all-rounder in the team and urged Gill to let Shardul perform freely. "I feel an all-rounder's role is very important. Shardul Thakur has been an experienced player and has done well in Test cricket overseas. I want to see more overs from Shardul. If the Indian team can use Shardul Thakur in a better way, that will be really great. Whatever I have seen with him, he can swing the ball both ways and is a wicket-taker.

I would like to see Shardul bowling more overs. Give him that freedom, he will get you more wickets," he added. Rahane praised Bumrah's bowling but also pointed out that other bowlers need to step up too. "Bumrah's five wicket-haul in the first innings was amazing. Apart from his five wickets what I liked about Bumrah was his intent. The way he was running in his run-up. His intensity throughout his bowling was amazing. The lines and lengths that he bowled. He was aggressive throughout in his bowling approach," said Rahane. "What I would like to see is support from the other end.
