Fire inside Shaw, give him chance in third T20: Kaneria

Karachi (Best Hindu News): Former Pakistan cricketer Danish Kaneria has suggested that India should include Prithvi Shaw in the playing XI for the third and final T20I against New Zealand.
Kaneria said in a video released on his YouTube channel, “This is the last match of the series. You have seen how Shubman Gill plays. Prithvi Shaw is a talented young batsman. He is known for his aggressive game. You can bring him in the team in place of Shubman Gill. Shaw has a fire inside. If he plays consistently, he can do wonders.
Kaneria said, “No doubt Shubman Gill is a great batsman, but he needs to focus on his shortcomings. He needs to improve his game against spin bowlers. India has won (2nd T20) but needs improvement.”
Gill has so far scored 76 runs in five matches of his T20 career at an average of 15.2 and a strike rate of 128.82. Shaw, on the other hand, has played just one T20 International in his career where he didn’t get to bat.
Gill made just 11 runs in the second T20I against New Zealand, though India won by six wickets to level the three-match series.
Batting first, New Zealand scored 99 runs at the loss of eight wickets. In response, India achieved the target in 19.5 overs.
