In the ongoing Test match, where Devdutt Padikkal and KL Rahul, especially Padikkal, performed swiftly with the bat, Gill struggled to face the Lankan spin attack. In the first and second innings, Shubman Gill was dismissed for 16 and 8 runs, respectively. After the two cheap dismissals, the question around his batting emerges: Is Shubman Gill weak against quality spin bowling?

Shubman Gill had no prior experience playing a Test match in Sri Lanka ahead of the ongoing series
Another thing is that Gill has very limited experience playing in Sri Lanka, which might have backfired against Sri Lanka in Galle. After making his debut in Tests, it is the first Test series against Sri Lanka for the batter. And his first Test series in the island nation as well.
While the Indian cricket team played the warm-up match with their first-team players, Sri Lanka Cricket fielded their playing combination with a combination of emerging players and first-team players.
Shubman Gill should eye big knocks in 2nd Test
