Shubman Gill fails to impress in Test series against SA, here's what Sunil Gavaskar suggests

There is a slight difference when you play Test cricket compared to T20I and ODI cricket. The difference is in the ball," Gavaskar told Star Sports.
"The red ball moves a little more than the white ball in the air and off the pitch as well. It bounces a little more too. He should keep that in mind," Gavaskar added.
Looking at Gill's performance in 2023, he had a fine run in the limited-over versions and managed to score only one fifty-plus score in the traditional format in 10 innings in 2023, a hundred against Australia at home in March. His nine other outings produced scores of 21, 5, 13, 18, 6, 10, 29 not out, 2, 26. But Gavaskar hoped that Gill would find his range sooner than later.
"Shubman Gill started off his career so well and we praised his shots. We can only hope that he gets back into his form. Hope he trains harder and does well in the future," said Gavaskar.
Analyzing Gill's dismissal in the second innings by Jansen, Gavaskar via Sportskeeda said, "The length was very good, it was a fuller length, but Shubman Gill probably made just one mistake. He wouldn't have been in trouble had he tried to play towards mid-on. He would have got an inside edge.
