Gautam Gambhir: We have often seen this in Indian cricket, when a player is a favourite of the captain or coach, he gets more opportunities. Even if that player flops continuously, he is still given opportunities continuously.

In this episode, a favorite player of Team India's head coach Gautam Gambhir has now joined. This player is continuously failing but despite this, he is being given opportunities and is not being dropped from the team.

Gautam Gambhir is constantly giving opportunities to this player

Actually, the flop player we are talking about here is none other than Team India's young opening batsman Shubman Gill. Gill has not done anything special for India in the last some time but still he is getting opportunities.

The surprising thing is that even Gambhir, who talked about merit before becoming the head coach, is not excluding him. If we look at Gill's recent performance, it has not been anything special and he proved to be a big flop on the Sri Lanka tour.

Team India's legendary batsman Virat Kohli is the best player of the current era and is ruling the world cricket right now. This is why fans lovingly call him King Kohli, while on the other hand, Gill is called Prince after seeing his talent.

However, Shubman could not show his talent and he has failed so far. Despite this, Gambhir is giving opportunities to Gill and he feels that Shubman will replace Virat in the future but he has proved to be a failure so far.

Shubman Gill became the vice-captain of Team India

The 24-year-old player has not been able to do anything special for the team so far and even though he was the highest run scorer in the recent T20 series against Zimbabwe, his strike rate was around 126. Apart from this, he proved to be a flop in both the ODI and T20 series on the Sri Lanka tour.

Despite his poor performance against Zimbabwe, Gill was appointed the vice-captain of Team India in both formats on the Sri Lanka tour. Even if media reports are to be believed, he can be made the vice-captain in Tests as well. However, Gambhir (Gautam Gambhir) is also supporting him and he is getting continuous opportunities.
