'He will struggle like anyone' - Former Australian cricketer believes Shubman Gill will struggle in Test Championship final

India and Australia are set to clash against each other in the Test Championship final, which will be taking place between June 7 and 11 at the Oval in London. India has qualified in the Test Championship final for the second consecutive after 2021. However, they had to face a defeat in 2021 against New Zealand.

Meanwhile, former legendary Australian cricketer Greg Chappel talked about India’s young opening batter Shubman Gill, who is currently in red-hot form. Chappel talked about Gill’s weakness and said the short ball with extra bounce will make him caught behind.

"I don't wanna go into too much detail but I'm sure the Australians must have seen a couple of things that I have seen. There are little things that Shubman does a few things early in his innings that make him vulnerable to that length around off stump and if the ball bounces a little bit extra, he will susceptible to nicking off behind the wicket. But he's a very good player. If they don't bowl, he will punish them," he said on Backstage with Boria.

The extra pace gets good players out: Greg Chappel

Chappel further added that the bowlers with extra pace like Mitchell Starc will be a threat to Gill. He also said the extra bounce that Josh Hazlewood and Scott Boland get will also threaten the 23-year-old batter when they will bowl him the short-pitched delivery.

“Gill has been to England before. He will struggle like anyone in English conditions if the Australians bowl well. The bowlers who will trouble him most are the ones who get that extra pace like Mitchell Starc. That can worry anyone. The extra pace gets good players out. The extra bit of bounce also gets good players out and I think if Hazlewood is fit to play then he can be a problem for Shubman. If Hazlewood doesn't play then Boland will most likely play and he's another bowler who can trouble anyone. He bowls a good line. He knows what a good length can be in English conditions," Chappell added.
