'Failing to live up to my expectations was disappointing'
Hindustan Times|February 22, 2024
Shubman Gill is the second-highest run accumulator for India after Yashasvi Jaiswal on this tour. But there couldn't have been a more disparate narrative tracking the curve of India's two youngest Test batters. Jaiswal has been an accumulator par excellence, making scoring look ridiculously easy at times. Gill has struggled, even scratched around at times but scored nevertheless.

'Failing to live up to my expectations was disappointing'

That a hundred at Visakhapatnam and 91 at Rajkot still haven't lived up to the standards set around Gill are probably his own doing, especially in the aftermath of a blockbuster 2023 in whiteball cricket.

Eleven innings without a fiftyplus score were a reality check, but more exacting must be this tour against England where Gill was forced to come out of the shadows of Virat Kohli and KL Rahul and make his innings count. And while it hasn't been spectacular, Gill is taking everything on his chin and learning on the go. "There is always disappointment but it was more within myself and regarding my own expectations," said Gill here on Wednesday.
