Irfan Pathan's Analysis of India's Batting Challenges

Irfan Pathan critiques India's batting issues, focusing on Shubman Gill's form affecting team dynamics. Gill's struggles in T20 continue, impacting even discussions on reinstating Sanju Samson. Captain Suryakumar Yadav's form also suffers, highlighting the pressure on the team ahead of the World Cup.

In a candid critique of India's cricketing woes, former pacer Irfan Pathan underscored the pressure mounting on both Shubman Gill and team management due to Gill's persistent form struggles. The issue is causing concern as the team seeks solutions beyond merely hoping for improvement.

During an appearance on 'JioHotstar', Pathan noted that while reintroducing Sanju Samson into the lineup could restore past batting success, it wouldn't be without challenges. Samson, requiring time to regain his form, can't offer an immediate fix as Gill continues to grapple with his T20 vice-captaincy obligations.

Pathan also commented on captain Suryakumar Yadav's performance dips, attributing them to poor shot selection. As Yadav faces mounting pressure to revitalize his form ahead of the upcoming World Cup, Pathan emphasized the importance of adjusting batting strategies and positioning for positive outcomes.
