Is Shubman Gill ignoring a major flaw? Irfan Pathan's advice sparks buzz

Cricket

Shubman Gill is seen as a top talent, but Irfan Pathan says he needs to fix a key flaw to get even better.

The former all-rounder praised Gill’s talent but warned that one weakness could hold him back from reaching his full potential.

After India’s third ODI loss to England, Irfan Pathan said Gill needs to improve his fitness. He believes Gill has the talent but must get physically stronger to succeed.

“The run rate was around six, but could we have pushed harder? Gill played well but needs to work on his fitness, and his struggles break the team’s momentum,” Pathan said on YouTube.

As ODI captain, Gill has more responsibilities. Pathan says better fitness will help him handle pressure, recover faster, and set a good example for the team.

With preparations for the 2027 ODI World Cup underway, every improvement counts. Pathan believes improving fitness now will help Gill become a more complete player.

Shubman Gill has proven he can score consistently. Now, fans will watch to see if he follows Irfan Pathan’s advice and improves his fitness to take his game higher.
