has just two fifties, including the ones he hit in Sydney and Brisbane three years ago. His next high score is the 45 he made in Melbourne on Test debut in December 2020.

To an extent, he knows it too. This is why Gill, who made his debut as an opener, opted to move down to No 3 at the start of the year.
