Shubman Gill, a rising star in Indian cricket, had an exceptional season in the latest Indian Premier League (IPL). He scored a remarkable 890 runs with an average of 59.33 and an impressive strike rate of 157.80. Gill is considered a crucial part of India’s batting lineup and has drawn comparisons to legendary Indian cricketers like Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag, Rahul Dravid, and Virat Kohli.
Sachin Tendulkar, one of cricket’s all-time greats, watched Gill’s performances in the IPL and was captivated by his batting. Tendulkar praised Gill’s outstanding season, particularly highlighting his two centuries and his remarkable consistency. He commended Gill’s temperament, hunger for runs, and tactical running between the wickets.
With India on the verge of reaching the semi-finals of the upcoming Cricket World Cup, fans are eager to witness Gill’s batting prowess in crucial matches. Tendulkar believes that when Gill shines, no bowler can stop him, as evident from his IPL performances.
Gill’s batting technique is marked by unique features. His distinctive footwork, where he takes two steps forward with the stamp guard when facing a bowler, allows him to gauge the length of the delivery effectively. This approach enables him to decide how to play the ball without worrying much about his footwork.
In addition to his cricketing talent, Shubman Gill has showcased his versatility by lending his voice in the Indian version of the popular Spiderman movie. This has earned him the nickname “Spiderman Gill” among fans.
Renowned cricket analyst Harsha Bhogle drew comparisons between Gill’s batting style and that of former Pakistani cricketer Inzamam-ul-Haq. Gill’s ability to analyze a delivery closely resembles the skills of the Pakistani batting legend. As the Cricket World Cup approaches, fans are hopeful that Gill’s extraordinary talent will help India achieve their dream of winning the tournament.
