Indian team had given Shubman Gill an ultimatum after his failure after 1st Test against England:Reports.

Shubman Gill’s century in Visakhapatnam couldn’t have arrived at a more crucial juncture, considering the immense pressure he faced heading into the second Test against England following a duck in Hyderabad. According to reports from The Indian Express, the team management had conveyed to Gill that the Visakhapatnam Test represented his final opportunity to solidify his position at No. 3. Furthermore, it was suggested that had Gill failed in both innings in Visakhapatnam, he would have been directed back to playing Ranji Trophy cricket.

In anticipation of this possibility, Gill had informed a family member of his intention to represent Punjab in a Ranji Trophy match against Gujarat in Ahmedabad, scheduled to commence on February 9. This decision was seen as a strategic move for the young cricketer to return to the domestic circuit and refine his technique through rigorous training and match practice.
