‘Giving their best’: Shubman Gill rallies behind the team despite key India players unavailable for Ranchi Test

Stylish Indian opener Shubman Gill praised the performance of young players stepping up in the absence of senior teammates ahead of the fourth Test against England. India has shown resilience in the series, bouncing back from a 1-0 deficit to lead 2-1 after wins in Vizag and Rajkot. However, key players like Jasprit Bumrah, KL Rahul, and Virat Kohli are absent, posing a challenge for the team.

Gill, along with other batters, bounced back after a rare defeat in the first Test, with a century in the second match and 90 in the previous match. He emphasized that every batter can’t score big runs in every game, and it’s a collective effort that has led to India putting close to 400 runs on the board in every match. Young players like Sarafaraz Khan and Dhruv Jurel have also made significant contributions in the absence of senior players.

Gill expressed confidence in the young players, endorsing their ability to sustain the momentum in the series. He highlighted the performances of fellow players and emphasized that the absence of key players has provided opportunities for the young ones to shine. The action continues in Ranchi for the fourth Test, starting on Friday.
