India were bowled out for just 125 runs in 18.4 overs during the second T20I match at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Melbourne on Friday, October 31. Gill scored only five runs off 10 deliveries before being dismissed. Australia comfortably chased down the target in 13.2 overs to seal a four-wicket victory.
“In his last ten innings, he hasn’t even scored a total of 200 runs, so the pressure will be on him. He’s getting opportunities, he’s getting the backing, but he needs to convert those chances into performances, which hasn’t happened yet,” Pathan said.

The 41-year-old said that Gill’s failures could open the door for Yashasvi Jaiswal. He stated that Jaiswal’s talent cannot be ignored, adding that the youngster has the potential to score double hundreds in ODIs and centuries in T20Is.
"He can even score a double hundred in ODIs, that’s how good he is. And in T20s, he has the ability to score a hundred. So, having a player like him sitting out is something the Indian team needs to pay serious attention to.”
