Shubman Gill

Young Indian cricketer Shubman Gill has been praised far and wide as the next big thing in the world of cricket. The elegant right-handed batsman has already made waves with his assured technique. Making his name first with a terrific performance for the victorious Indian Under-19 Team in 2018, Gill has gone on to represent in both the Test format and the ODIs as well, making his mark especially in the former.

Gill had a baptism by fire in the longest format of the game as he was thrown straight in as an opener for the second Test against Australia after India had been demolished in the first Down Under. He came up with two confident knocks and although he couldn’t convert them into a big score, there was plenty of promise.

Gill’s big moment arrived in the fourth Test at the Gabba as he was one of the key architects of the famous victory that helped a young Indian side clinch victory against all odds. His aggressive 91 at the top of the order helped India accelerate and believe that a win was possible. Although he missed out on a century, he made a statement that he was well and truly here to stay. Despite some disappointing performances since then, it is certain that Gill will bounce back.

Shubman Gill answered fan queries on Google and on being asked about where he grew up, he said, “I spent my first three years in my village Chak Kherewala and then moved to a city named Jalalabad. Then in 2007, I went to Mohali.” On the languages he can speak, Gill said, “I can speak Punjabi, Hindi and English.“

On having his father as his coach early in his career, Gill said, “It was very helpful for me to have my dad as my coach as he knew me from the start, how my game is, how I like playing and understanding my own game, so it was really helpful for me.”

Gill is now expected to be India’s opener in the final of the World Test Championship (WTC) and he would want to come up with yet another statement that he is here to stay.
