Shubman Gill will learn from his mistakes: Deep Dasgupta backs the Indian opener

Shubman Gill had a fantastic tour to Australia, after which the youngster was expected to solidify his position further in the home series against Australia. Unfortunately for Gill and India, the right-hander failed to deliver big against the tourists.

While for many a dip in the form so early in the career can be a concern, former India wicketkeeper-batsman Deep Dasgupta appears unfazed by how the series panned out for Gill.

Dasgupta backed the Punjab-born cricketer to get his mojo back ahead of the much-anticipated World Test Championship to be played in England in June later this year.

"I think Shubman Gill will figure it out. In Australia, in the first series, he started getting out to Pat Cummins against away-going deliveries. He started coming across to counter the swing. In the England series, the English seamers bowled in-swing and he has been in trouble, facing inswingers. He has got out LBW, bowled to the balls coming in. As a youngster, you have made adjustments to counter certain kinds of deliveries. Those adjustments have worked against you in a different series," Dasgupta said in a Q&A session on Sports Today.

"These are all part of the learning curve for someone as young as Shubman Gill. I am sure he has learnt his lessons. I am sure he will be back, scoring runs at the WTC final. He should be ready. There is a lot of cricket he will play before the WTC, he will play the IPL and hopefully score runs in the IPL” he added.

"I am sure he will be back. These are part of a cricketer's life, ups and downs. He should be fine, he will learn from his mistakes,” concluded the 43-year-old cricketer-turned-commentator.
