Former India World Cup winner Yuvraj Singh strongly reacted to Shubman Gill’s criticism after his brilliant century in the bottom of the second innings of the second Test in Visakhapatnam. The 24-year-old scored his second Test century in his home country and gave India a massive score with his two fieldings.
Shubman Gill helped India reach the target of 399 runs in the second innings, scoring 104 runs off 147 deliveries, on the third day of the second Test against England in Visakhapatnam. Recorded. The right-handed batsman has not scored a half-century in a Test since he scored 128 against Australia in Ahmedabad in March 2023.
Yuvraj Singh said his thugs were making their voices heard.

“I rose to the occasion again and played a balanced shot. It’s good to see a triple-digit marker. Well done, kid, let the bat do the talking ” said Yuvraj Singh.
Shubman Gill requested number three from the team management at the start of India’s tour to the West Indies. Before reaching his century on Sunday, the right-hander failed to score a fifty in his last 11 innings in the position, sparking criticism from cricket experts and fans.
Ravi Shastri said in a broadcast during the second Test that India’s young batsmen need to perform at the highest level. Cheteshwar, who performed well in the Ranji Trophy, is competing for a place in the team as his Pujara has been named in his starting block.
“This is a new site, a young site. These youngsters have to prove themselves. Remember, Pujara is waiting. He will do his best in the Ranji Trophy. He works hard and remains focused,” Ravi Shastri said.
The 24-year-old was a star player for India last year, scoring hundreds in ODIs and T20Is against Sri Lanka and New Zealand last year. His outstanding performance earned him the nickname ‘Prince’ and many considered him to be Virat Kohli’s successor in every sense of the word. However, since theODI World Cup began, his performance has deteriorated dramatically.
Shubman Gill, who replaced Cheteshwar Pujara as the No. 3 batsman in the long-range format, struggled to live up to expectations. The right-handed batsman continued to perform poorly in the first Test against England. Before the second Test, Gill had averaged less than 30 runs conceded in 39 of his Test innings.
