Gill shared an image on Instagram featuring himself with his cricket bat with the Indian tricolour in the background.
The picture, accompanied by his caption, ‘Summer down under’, reflects his positive mindset as he gears up for one of the toughest cricket challenges of his career.
A strong performance in this series would significantly enhance Gill’s Test cricket portfolio, particularly considering his recent overseas challenges. His debut Test series in Australia during 2020-21 marked a significant milestone in his career.
He played a vital role in India’s remarkable 2-1 victory over Australia, contributing as part of an inexperienced Indian squad. His statistics included 259 runs from three matches at an average of 51.80, including two half-centuries with a top score of 91.
In the upcoming series, the young cricketer will occupy the number three position, previously held by Cheteshwar Pujara, known for wearing down Australian bowlers with his defensive technique.
Across 14 matches batting at number three, Gill has accumulated 926 runs, averaging 42.09, with three centuries and three fifties. His highest score stands at 119*.
Gill’s current form in 2024 has been impressive, amassing 806 runs at an average of 47.41, including three centuries and three fifties in 19 innings, with 119* as his highest score.
