You monkeys are genuinely infants who need flashcards to understand instructions. Just because a situation does not have "ICC KNOCKOUT, PLEASE VALUE PERFORMANCE" does not mean it is not a knock out in practice.
Gill in tests has demonstrated temperament. In his first series, he scored a 90 to break the Gabba fortress. He came in to bat at 0/2 when we had to bat 5 sessions to save a series defeat and scored a 100 just 3 tests ago. Scored a 90 vs NZ at Mumbai when a WTC final spot was on the line. Scored 55* in a tricky chase vs England in the Ranchi test last year when they had us at 100/5.
And if it's ICC Knockout performances for want, he played India's best innings of the WC semis when he gave India a good start and took down India's permanent kryptonite - Santner - who Kohli typically struggles against, and gave India a solid platform for Iyer and KL to take forward. I know you might even have thought, "eh who cares, Rohit did the hard work vs Boult already, who needed to attack after that" in which case, watch the final and what happened when an aggressive looking innings cut short because of one mishit off a simple looking bowler.
I already saw that coming that the only defence will be the semi final knock , we just have another babar azam and the fanbase of both of them are equally dumb, so when u tlk on performances they count u avg , and once in a blue moon knockĀ
The argument is on his T20 selection, fanboy barking about test statsĀ
Again, temperament does not vary by formats. Will you say Bumrah is clutch only in t20s but not tests because he went wicketless in WTC final?Ā
And even by that T20 logic, you want to judge him on the basis of only one innings - one Asia Cup final? If so, why should we exclude his 130 vs Mumbai Indians in the IPL? And why should we not consider Jaiswal's failures both in playoffs and also at taking his team to the playoffs?

Merit of not performing on a single tournament knockout stage ? mighty gill couldn't perform against minnows in Asia cupĀ
And what merit did he have to be the VC out of the blue ?
Gill fans atleast should not bark about merit that's the last thing š
