Shubman Gill: Class, Temperament And Appetite For Big Scores

About the Author

Sunil Garodia Holding an extreme view and carting the ball out of the park is what interests him most. He is a hard hitter at all times. Fasten your seatbelts and read.

The temperament, class and consistency being displayed by Shubman Gill in his recent outings show that it is now over to Emperor Gill from King Kohli.  Although there is a lot of cricket left in King Kohli and his recent form shows that he has left his lean patch behind and will scale newer heights, there is no doubt that Gill is the new star on the block. Three centuries and five fifties, highest score of 129 with an average of 60-plus and a strike rate of 156 has made this IPL the most productive for Gill and confirmed the fact that the baton will - if it has not already - pass from Kohli to him.

Gill considers Kohli as his idol and there is no doubt that like Kohli, he has all the shots in his repertoire, possesses a solid temperament, has an appetite for big scores, excels in challenging situations, performs well on the big stage and runs singles dedicatedly to rotate the strike. At 23 years, Gill is young enough to have a long innings in all formats of the game and is poised to break many records if he continues in this vein. He is also marked out to be a future captain of the Indian team.

The way he mauled the Mumbai Indians bowling on Friday was a treat to watch. Scoring 129 runs in 60 balls with 7 piercing boundaries and 10 towering sixes was awesome. It was an imperious innings that took the game away from MI. It also confirmed the fact that Gill is the player to watch in world cricket today.
