Monty Panesar slams Shubman Gill's potential and focus
Listen up, folks! Monty Panesar just threw down the gauntlet on Shubman Gill, claiming he can't hang with the greats like Kohli! With the 2026 T20 World Cup looming, Gill's been benched for lazy shots and complacency. Can he lead? Not a chance! Time to either step it up or step aside, Gill! The Rock demands excellence!
Quick rundown
- Monty Panesar drops a spicy take: Gill's got talent, but lazy shots and Kohli-like fire are in short supply.
- Gill can't channel Kohli's intensity across formats; the burden of all-format captaincy looms large.
- Panesar questions India's red-ball roadmap, saying Ranji Trophy gaps test patience more than four-day cricket.
- Gill's big role shifts: Axar Patel named T20I vice-captain as Gill misses out on the mega World Cup squad.
- Gill's 2025 form: just 43 runs in three ODIs vs Australia—ouch, not the highlight reel.
