The Indian skipper also voiced his support for fellow batter Karun Nair, whose return to the Test squad after more than eight years has been underwhelming so far. The 33-year-old has managed to score only 131 runs in six innings.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe think Karun [Nair] is batting well. Sometimes it\u2019s not easy\u2014 in the first match, he didn\u2019t really play at his number. It\u2019s difficult when a player is making a comeback in a series like this, you know. But I don\u2019t think there\u2019s been any issue with his batting; he\u2019s been batting well.”<\/p>\n
Gill opined it was all about Nair getting an encouraging start in one of the upcoming innings.<\/p>\n
\u201cSometimes it\u2019s also about getting that click\u2014once you\u2019re able to make your 50, you get back into your zone and score big runs. Unfortunately, that hasn\u2019t happened for him so far, but we are hopeful that he will be able to turn it around.”<\/p>\n
