Play the game that suits you we need runs from you - Virender Sehwag on what advice Hardik Pandya should give GT opener Shubman Gill

Shubman Gill is short of runs. Pic: IPLT20.COM Former Indian batter Virender Sehwag reckons that Hardik Pandya and the Gujarat Titans (GT) management must give Shubman Gill full freedom to play his natural game, but expect results in return. Sehwag pointed out that even if Gill takes a bit of time to score runs, Gujarat have the batting firepower to cover it up. Gill, 22, scored 84 and 96, respectively, in GT’s second and third matches of IPL 2022. However, in the last seven innings, he has a highest score of just 31. The youngster’s performance will be under the scanner when Gujarat take on the Mumbai Indians (MI) at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai on Friday, May 6.

During a discussion on Cricbuzz, he replied: “They should simply tell him - ‘play the game that suits you, we need runs from you. Whether you score at a strike rate of 120 or 150, just score runs’.

The family that eats together, stays together Despite obvious weaknesses in their batting, Gujarat decided to bat first after winning the toss against Punjab. Their deficiencies were exposed as they only managed to put up 143 for eight. Advising GT to shun all experiments, Sehwag warned the franchise against taking any game lightly and stated: “GT must not experiment with batting first. This (Brabourne) is a small ground and there are greater chances of a total being chased down. They must make well-thought-out decisions from here and aim to finish in the top two. They should not take any game lightly.” Gujarat are currently leading the with eight wins from 10 matches. The other IPL debutants, the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), are second with 14 points from 10 games.
