Ahead of the much-anticipated World Test Championship Final, Australian cricket legend Greg Chappell has shared some crucial insights. He offers a strategic guide for the Australian bowlers on how to deal with the prodigious Indian batsman, Shubman Gill.
Shubman Gill, with his sublime stroke play and solid technique, has been a force to reckon with in Test cricket. However, Chappell believes there’s a way to tackle this Indian sensation. The former Australian captain, with his rich experience, knows a thing or two about exploiting the batsmen’s weaknesses.
Firstly, he has identified the initial phase of Gill’s innings as a potential opportunity. According to Chappell, Gill shows some vulnerabilities early in his batting spell. He suggests that Gill could be a bit susceptible to balls around off-stump during this phase. Consequently, Australian bowlers should focus on exploiting this period of uncertainty in Gill’s game.
Further, Chappell has noticed that Gill could struggle against deliveries that have a bit of extra bounce. As such, the Australian bowlers could use this to their advantage. He recommends targeting the off-stump line with a good length ball that has a bit of extra bounce. The strategy aims to induce an edge from Gill, leading to a catch behind the wicket.
However, Chappell warns against complacency. He reminds the Australian bowlers of Gill’s exceptional talent and his ability to punish poor deliveries. Hence, it’s critical for the bowlers to maintain a consistent line and length. Mistakes could prove costly against a player of Gill’s caliber.
Despite offering these tactical insights, Chappell does not want to delve too deep into specifics. He’s confident that the Australian team must have noticed these aspects of Gill’s game. He’s also sure that they will be devising their strategies based on these observations.

But remember, cricket is a game of uncertainties. Chappell’s advice is valuable, but it’s the execution on the field that truly matters. The bowlers must adapt to the game situation and the pitch conditions. Rigidity in plans could backfire, and versatility will be the key.

The stage is all set for an intriguing contest in the World Test Championship Final. The challenge for the Australian bowlers is clear – successfully implement Chappell’s advice and contain Gill. Whether they succeed or Gill triumphs over the strategy, will make for an engaging narrative in this marquee clash.
Just like how he struggled at the Gabba 🙄. If anything, slower, pitched up swing bowling will trouble him. https://t.co/iA9xqRV3JL

Greg Chappell is the greatest cricket brain ever.
Indian team that went on to win 07 nd 11 was due to his roadmap.
Gill adv is he plays cautiously on road, that's why score big.
Just like kohli who himself has huge technical flaws, statpadding shows them as another Sachin. https://t.co/PrGwNN2IHQAdvertisement— KrishnakaDas (@DasKrishnaka) June 4, 2023
