India vs West Indies | 1st Test | Ahmedabad | October 2-6 | Match Discussion

Sometimes players just perform better when there is less pressure

Fail as soon as it’s the big stage. India A is indeed a great set up. Good to Judge the quality but if it’s not translating to the main team when you play for your country then it’s a mental issue. Maybe he is just never going to be ready as he has been provided quite a few chances already.

There are players waiting to take his spot. He isn’t all that talented that we need to wait for him to develop.

This applies to gill as well. I don’t give a crap about his potential. If he fails then drop him. Ruthless selection is what we need.

It’s not a government job. It’s like investment banking

You perform or perish.

This is a guaranteed win match.Actually Sai did way better in IPL playoffs than Gill. This is his home ground.He is probably trying to be needlessly too cautious. No.3 is such an important spot.

Tier system is very important for survival of test cricket.

Agree. 7 + 5

that's how it should be

India ended their proceedings at 121/2 on Day 1 of the first Test against West Indies at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad

At Stumps, KL Rahul (53*) and Shubman Gill (18*) remained unbeaten at the crease as two-down India trail by 41 runs. After bowling out the visitors for a paltry total in just 44.1 overs, opener Yashasvi Jaiswal (36) and Rahul (53 not out) stitched together a 68-run stand for the opening wicket before the former was dismissed. India then lost Sai Sudharsan (7) cheaply before Rahul and skipper Shubman Gill (18 not out) batted out the remaining overs. Earlier, pacers Mohammed Siraj and Jasprit Bumrah shared seven wickets between them.

Another useless Test series with a team that has no business playing cricket at international level.

The more WI play, the more they embarrass themselves.

After epic Anderson Tendulkar series we are being tortured by playing low quality tournament,s low quality test series.

Not sure why this guy Sai is rated so highly by Gambhir and Agarkar

He doesn't have great FC stats. He is mostly an IPL bully

Gill probably picked him because of his runs on flat decks in the IPL. He has an average of 35 in domestic cricket, Easwaran should have been given the opportunity but Gambhir & his selections.

Devdutt Paddikal should play at #3 in Delhi test match, enough of this ftb Sai.

Saw first few overs. Empty stands. Besides few marquee series like Ashes, BGT, or Ind/ENG, hard to give an eyeball to test cricket.

Not the right venue for a test match with a low ranked team. It should have been a smaller city, where people would go to watch a match with West Indies
