Gautam Gambhir has praised Shubman Gill for his dynamic performance during the Super Four match of the 2023 Asia Cup between India and Pakistan.
Gill aggressively scored 58 runs from 52 balls for India as they posted a total of 147/2 in 24.1 overs. The game, which began with India batting first at the R Premadasa Stadium on Sunday, September 10, was interrupted by rain. The match will resume from the same point on the reserve day, which is Monday(September 11).
While having a conversation with Star Sports on Gill’s attack on Shaheen Afridi, Gautam Gambhir said,”The conditions were also different. The conditions you got in Kandy, you won’t get those conditions in Colombo. It was overcast in Kandy but it was quite sunny when Shaheen Shah Afridi started in Colombo. If the ball doesn’t swing much, Shubman Gill can be extremely attacking.”
While praising Shubman Gill further, Gambhir stated,”You didn’t get to see much swing but I believe the way Shubman batted, if someone removed the pressure from Rohit Sharma, it was Shubman Gill. He played exceptional shots – towards mid-off, over the bowler’s head and then the cover drive. We got to see all types of shots and this was Shubman’s class.”
