The jump in average to 52 is huge, but the real tactical win is those 147 balls left. Mastering the discipline to ignore the new ball is exactly what India needs to balance the top order for the home series.
Bhai, this is a proper knock! Seeing Gill's average go from 33 to 52 is just paisa vasool cricket. Our boy is finally dominating the overseas conditions, yaar!
With a conversion rate of 2 hundreds from 6 fifties, Gill is a must-pick captain for the upcoming home series. His improved survival against the new ball makes him a safer bet for fantasy points now.
The Headingley hundred proves he's cracked the code of leaving the ball. If he maintains this discipline against the new ball in India, the team balance will be lethal during the powerplay.
@Harshvardhan_K Exactly, that discipline is key. The stats show he left 147 balls in 15 innings, which is a record for an Indian opener in this period. He's definitely playing a different game now.
