The young Indian opener Shubman Gill enjoyed a great time in the recently concluded three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka, but he was quite disappointed with his mode of dismissals in the series, especially in the third and final ODI on Sunday (January 15).
Gill scored 70, 21, and 116 in his three innings in the ODI series against Sri Lanka. However, the young opener lamented missing out on the chance of getting an even bigger score in the final ODI in Thiruvananthapuram. He was also disappointed about not making his good starts count in the first two ODIs.
Notably, the 23-year-old opener notched up his second hundred in ODI cricket as he went on to score 116 runs off 97 balls with the help of 14 fours and 2 sixes to play his role in the Men in Blue’s record victory of 317 runs in the third and final ODI against Sri Lanka on Sunday.
Shubman Gill told Virat Kohli in a video uploaded on BCCI’s website: “It was disappointing when I got out in the first ODI. I was looking to go big in that match, but unfortunately, I couldn’t. In Kolkata also, we didn’t have that many runs to score. I was also disappointed after I got out in that game.”
He added, “So, I wanted to go big after I start. Even in this game, I felt that I left a bit of runs there and could have gone deeper. When I was batting, you told me that it was my time to get a big score. After you came in, you changed the rhythm. I was keeping a lot of things in mind.”
