Shubman Gill focused on his short ball play as seven Indian cricketers sweated it out under the strong Lucknow sun, two days ahead of their Cricket World Cup 2023 fixture against England. Gill, who has amassed five hundreds this year, is yet to set the World Cup stage on fire after recovering from dengue that forced him to miss the first couple of games. In three games since then, the classy opener has scores 26, 53 and 16. With 1,325 runs and counting in ODIs this year, Gill has looked good in all the innings but has not been able to make it count. As India look to maintain their unbeaten run in the tournament, a special effort will be expected from Gill, who got out slashing at a short and wide ball against New Zealand in Dharamsala. However, facing the short ball is something that Gill relishes.
