gaba pitch report

The fifth T20 match between India and Australia will be played at the Gabba ground in Brisbane. Gaba’s pitch is known for better batting. But the presence of grass on the pitch can help the bowlers in the beginning. But once the batsmen are settled, it becomes easy to bat on this pitch.

Gautam Gambhir On Shubman Gill: A five-match T20 series is going on between India and Australia. The fourth match of this series will be played today on Thursday, 6th November. But on this tour, the bat of India’s T20 team vice-captain Shubman Gill seems to be completely silent. Before the Australia tour, the Indian team was playing Asia Cup 2025. This time the Asia Cup was played in T20 format. The Indian team won this title, but even in this tournament, Gill did not score runs with his bat. Shubman Gill’s T20 form remains a big question at this time.

Gill did not score 200 runs in 10 matches

Shubman Gill is struggling with very poor form in T20 International. Gill has not been able to score even 200 runs in the last 10 matches. Shubman Gill played 7 matches in T20 Asia Cup 2025, in which he scored only 127 runs at an average of 21.16. Even on the Australia tour, Gill has not been able to show anything special. Gill has scored 57 runs in the first three matches.

In the first T20 match against Australia, Shubman Gill was looking better and was at the crease after scoring 37 runs, but this match was washed out due to rain. In the second match, Shubman Gill was out after scoring only 5 runs in 10 balls. In the third T20, Gill scored only 15 runs in 12 balls. In this way, the Indian vice-captain has been able to score only 57 runs in 3 matches. Gill has two chances left to get his form back on the Australia tour. Shubman Gill would like to make a comeback in the last two T20 matches.

• First T20 match against Australia – 37 runs not out
• Second T20 match against Australia – 5 runs
• Third T20 match against Australia – 15 runs

Will head coach Gautam Gambhir take action?

Only after Gautam Gambhir became the head coach of Team India, Shubman Gill was made the captain of India’s Test team. In the presence of Gambhir, Gill was also made the vice-captain of the T20 team. But Shubhman Gill’s bat is completely silent. Gill has scored 184 runs in the last 10 matches at an average of 18.4. Before the fourth T20 match against Australia, coach Gautam Gambhir was seen talking to Shubman Gill. Gambhir would like Gill to show better performance in the fourth T20 match.

This match was played of 26-26 overs which was interrupted by rain. Team India had scored 136 runs for 9 wickets in 26 overs after playing first, but Australia got the DLS target of 131 runs, which the Kangaroos achieved in 21.1 overs by losing 3 wickets. Shubman Gill looked quite disappointed after losing his first ODI as captain. Know here what Shubman Gill said about Perth’s defeat.

After the defeat in the first ODI, Shubman Gill said, “When you lose three wickets in the powerplay, it is never easy. You always try to make a comeback. There was a lot to learn from this match. We took the match deep by defending 130 runs in 26 overs, so we are satisfied with that.”

He said that the huge crowd of fans in the stadiums will motivate the team on the limited overs tour. Gill said, “We are fortunate that wherever we play, fans come in large numbers. Hopefully they will cheer us on in Adelaide as well.”

This was India’s first defeat in ODIs in 2025, ending their streak of eight consecutive wins. Australian captain Mitchell Marsh scored unbeaten 46 runs and led his team to victory with 29 balls remaining. He said that chasing the target of 131 runs under Duckworth-Lewis rule was a bit challenging because the ball was swinging a bit.

After Australia’s win, Mitchell Marsh said, “The weather took its toll today. Thank you to all the fans who stayed on the field. It feels good to get a win. It’s always good to win at home. I love playing for Australia. The ball was swinging a bit. We knew that would be the case for both teams, so it was a bit difficult to reach the target. I’m proud of our young players who came out on the field and got us the win.”
