In recent Test cricket, Shubman Gill has been consistently struggling. Despite getting continuous opportunities, he hasn’t been able to deliver. Looking at his last 10 Test matches, where he failed to score even a half-century, questions arise about why he is consistently given chances.

In the ongoing Test series against England, Gill faced another flop in the first innings of the first match. Prior to this, during the South Africa tour, he also showed a poor performance in Test matches. In the last 10 matches, Gill has crossed the 30-run mark only once.
Even on home soil, Gill is facing flops. Before the Test series against England, India played two Tests during the South Africa tour. In the four innings of two matches against South Africa, Gill scored 2, 26, 36, and 10 runs. In the first innings of the first match against England, he was out for just 23 runs.

Will Gill be dropped in the last three matches against England?
India is set to play a five-match Test series against England. BCCI initially announced the team for only the first two Tests. Now the question arises, will Gill be dropped for the last three matches? Gill himself can answer this with his performance. If he performs well in the second innings of the first match and the second Test, he might be retained. However, if he continues to struggle, he might be dropped for the last three Tests.
