Shubman Gill Highlights Fielding, Death Bowling Concerns and Calls for Settled World Cup SquadPreviousNext

India captain Shubman Gill acknowledged areas needing improvement after the West Indies chased down 352 in the third ODI, marking their highest successful run chase. Gill highlighted fielding lapses, including multiple dropped catches, and unclear death-over bowling strategies as key concerns ahead of the 2027 World Cup. Injuries and scheduling conflicts led to a rotating bowling lineup, limiting experimentation time. Despite these challenges, Gill emphasized the importance of settling on a consistent playing XI for upcoming series to prepare effectively for the World Cup.
