Former Pakistan cricketers Kamran Akmal and Basit Ali pointed fingers at Shubman Gill for the 2-1 series defeat against New Zealand. The Men in Blue lost two back to back ODIs after starting the series on an emphatic note, resulting in Gill failing to secure his first series win at home in the 50-over format after becoming captain. Following the loss in Indore, Gill has been called out for making multiple tactical mistakes and has been advised to learn captaincy.
‘Shan Masood wali captaincy’
Speaking on Game Plan, Basit compared Gill’s captaincy to that of Shan Masood while expressing his disapproval of using Nitish Kumar Reddy before Ravindra Jadeja or Kuldeep Yadav on Sunday. He claimed that the India cricket team ODI captain did not trust the spinner duo.
“Yeh to Shan Masood wali captaincy ki hai Gill ne. You shouldn’t go by messages being conveyed from outside. I would tell him: ‘school me jao aur kaptani seekh kar aao (go to school and learn captaincy),” Basit said.
Akmal echoed on Basit’s sentiments, claiming that Gill should have made better use of his specialist bowlers when the team had gotten early wickets. He claimed that the decision to make Gill the ODI skipper was taken in a haste and compared the situation to that of Babar Azam’s in 2018. The former Pakistan star also pointed out the flaws in India’s batting line up.
“Gill’s mind doesn’t seem to be working in captaincy. This is the same mistake that Pakistan made when they made Babar Azam the captain in 2018. Gambhir is fond of the left-right combination in T20 cricket, so why did he keep sending right-handers to bat alongside Kohli when a left-arm spinner (Jayden Lennox) was bowling?” he asked. “Jadeja should have been sent ahead of Reddy. You have one left-hander (in the top and middle order). Utilise him properly,” Akmal added.
