IND vs SA 3rd T20I: Shubman Gill Has Three Games to Reclaim His Form

Shubman Gill is under pressure to perform in the three remaining T20I matches against South Africa, as he fights for a place in India's squad for the T20 World Cup. His form, along with that of Suryakumar Yadav, is being closely watched by team management.

With the series tied 1-1, the third T20I takes place this Sunday at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamsala. The team faces some tough decisions regarding the batting order and player selection. Spinner Kuldeep Yadav might be excluded as the team looks to solidify its lineup before the global tournament.

The South African pace attack, featuring Anrich Nortje, Marco Jansen, Lungi Ngidi, Ottniel Baartman, and Lutho Sipamla, has proven effective on Indian pitches, and the Dharamsala track is expected to favor them with extra bounce and movement.

Head coach Gautam Gambhir faces pressure to address the top-order batting concerns with only eight games remaining before the T20 World Cup. While Suryakumar Yadav's place seems secure despite his recent struggles, Gill's spot in the team is far from guaranteed. In contrast, South Africa's team composition appears well-prepared for the upcoming World Cup on the subcontinent, boasting a strong batting lineup including Quinton de Kock and Aiden Markram.
