A former England star made a blunt comment about an Indian player, sparking a new debate about fitness during long innings.
Former England pacer Stuart Broad said Shubman Gill often gets cramps when he reaches the 70s and questioned why it happens so regularly.
Every time Gill scores in the 70s, he gets cramps and loses his rhythm, as seen in both the 1st and 3rd ODIs.
Broad said he was surprised Gill got cramps in England’s mild weather and wondered if he had an injury. He thinks the cramps slowed Gill down and led to his dismissal at Lord’s.
Broad said Gill’s ODI stats are unbelievable, with an average close to 60 in many matches, not just a handful. He called it “insane.”
Broad’s comments have raised questions about Gill’s fitness, and fans are now wondering if Team India will address this before important matches.
Gill now has a chance to answer critics by batting long, staying fit, and leading India strongly.
