New Delhi. The first Test between India and South Africa is being played at Centurion. South Africa scored 408 runs for the loss of 10 wickets in the first innings. In the second innings too, the batting of Team India was seen. After Rohit Sharma, Yashshwi Jaiswal also returned to the pavilion cheaply. Shubman Gill has also continued his flop show. He could not play a big innings in the second innings either.
Shubman Gill has performed poorly for India in five consecutive Test matches. He has played the last five Test matches against Australia, West Indies and South Africa. Gill’s bat was a flop in the final of the World Test Championship. He was able to score 13 runs in the first innings and 18 runs in the second innings. After this, Gill got a chance to tour the West Indies. There too, Gill flopped in the two-match Test series.

Gill scored 6 off 11 balls in the first innings of the first Test against the West Indies. However, India won the match by an innings and 141 runs. After this, Gill scored 10 runs in the first innings of the second Test and 29 runs in the second innings. Gill’s bat has also been quiet in the current Test series against South Africa. Gill scored 2 runs in the first innings of the first Test. In the second innings, Gill was dismissed for just 26 runs off 37 balls.
Now it will be interesting to see if he gets a chance in the second Test or not. However, before that, Team India will have to work on their batting. The way South Africa’s bowlers have wreaked havoc on Team India’s batsmen. Accordingly, it looks like India’s condition is going to get worse in the upcoming Tests as well. Rohit Sharma and company will have to come up with a new strategy in the second Test.
