Former India batter Aakash Chopra questioned Shubman Gill's tactics, including field placements, asking how he could allow singles "so easily". "Attack doesn't happen...by playing five bowlers," he added, criticising Gill for not using the services of Nitish Kumar Reddy. Aakash stated Gill wasn't proactive, noting, "Even after Jayden Seales came to bat, we were waiting for him to get out."
