Shubman Gill and the Greats of Indian Cricket
Former India and Gujarat Titans coach Gary Kirsten recently shared his thoughts on Shubman Gill’s performance in the IPL, his upcoming World Test Championship Final against Australia, and his future in cricket in an interview with Cricbuzz. In particular, Kirsten was asked whether Gill was in the same league as Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli, two greats of Indian cricket.
Comparing Shubman Gill to the Legends Too Soon
Kirsten was quick to point out that it would be unfair to make such comparisons between Gill and Tendulkar and Kohli so early in his career. The South African coach, who has worked with both Tendulkar and Kohli when he was India’s coach and even led the Indian side to their second ODI World Cup Trophy in 2011, believes that Gill has the potential to become a great player for India across all formats.
Conclusion
Shubman Gill is an incredibly talented and determined young player who has all the credentials to become a great player for India in the future. While it is too soon to compare him to the legends of Indian cricket, such as Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli, his future looks promising.
