“You Can Win From Any Situation”: MS Dhoni’s Golden Advice for Shubman Gill

One of the biggest names in Indian cricket is the batter Shubman Gill from India. Gill has only continued to develop since making his debut in an ODI match against New Zealand in 2020. Gill had shared with The Indian Express what he had learned from former India captain MS Dhonia and all-rounder Yuvraj Singh.

Gill claimed that both Dhoni and Yuvraj had a significant influence on how he developed as a cricketer. In order to accomplish the bigger goals, Dhoni told Gill to keep training hard and just concentrate on his game. The wicket-keeper told Gill that if he has confidence in his abilities, he can triumph in any circumstance. Only Dhoni could have awarded Gill his ODI cap.

Gill had frequently mentioned how Dhoni approached him after failing to perform well in his ODI debut. Gill was comforted by Dhoni, who was not participating in the game, by telling him that his debut was unquestionably superior to his. For those who don’t know, Dhoni was run out in his ODI debut without scoring a run.

MS Dhoni s Golden Advice for Shubman Gill

Although Gill has not shared much playing time with Dhoni in international cricket, he claimed that the impact on his career has been significant. The manner in which Gill has recently played shows that he has not only taken the advice to heart but also put it into practice. Dhoni was one of the top scorers in the game and helped India win games in the face of overwhelming odds.

I haven t interacted much with Mahi bhai but one thing I have learnt from him is that you can win from any situation, you just have to believe in yourself. Just believe in practice, just believe in the hard work, just don t give it away, Gill had told The Indian Express.

Yuvraj Singh has played a crucial role in Gill’s career in addition to Dhoni. When they both competed for Punjab in the domestic circuit, Singh served as Gill’s coach. The all-arounder urged Gill to have faith in his own abilities. The two of them have a strong relationship, and Singh frequently compliments Gill on his accomplishments.

Shubman Gill is The Fifth Indian Batter To Score Centuries in All Formats

Gill became just the fifth Indian player to score hundreds in all three formats of the game when he hit a T20I century against New Zealand earlier this year. Prior to them, only Suresh Raina, Rohit Sharma, KL Sharma, and Virat Kohli had reached that milestone.

In his career, the opener has so far amassed seven hundreds (4 ODIs, 2 Tests, and 1 T20I). He has also struck a few century in IPL 2023.
