Virat Kohli would get even more fired up if things got nasty: Sanjay Manjrekar
Sanjay Manjrekar was quoted as saying by ESPNCricinfo, “The thing with Virat Kohli was that he would get even more fired up and become a better batter [if things got nasty]. What disappointed me with Shubman Gill, and that is why I was wondering, where is Shubman Gill heading? Because that seemed like it didn't have the right effect on Shubman Gill, the batter.”

One ball led to a close review, and the very next delivery got him out LBW. Manjrekar noted that missing four balls in just nine deliveries was unusual for Gill and suggested that the incident on Day 3 may have unsettled him, leading to a loss of focus when it mattered most.
Sanjay Manjrekar questions Shubman Gill’s new fiery persona
The commentator also compared this to Virat Kohli, whose intense and combative nature was visible long before he took charge of the team. Manjrekar further explained, “And just to extend on that point, if Shubman Gill had that kind of a fiery side to him, we would have seen it a little earlier. You don't have to show it when you're captain. Or did he show it because he's got this confidence now that he's won a Test match and he's got so many runs?”
"His father [who played a big part as he grew up pursuing a career in cricket], in fact, would know him, would know his child, whether he's a Virat Kohli, potential Virat Kohli or [MS] Dhoni or somewhere in between. I'm guessing somewhere in between. So he's got to find his own way."
