Former India cricketer and expert- Aakash Chopra believes that Shubman Gill’s style of play is more suited to the longer formats of the game, not for the T20Is.
“I feel these are very important matches for Shubman Gill. You might say that he just made his debut and you are saying that these are important games. They are important because I am willing to put my hand up and say that when I see Shubman Gill, I see him as a long-format player. The way he plays, T20 cricket is not ideal for him,” Chopra said on his YouTube channel ahead of the second T20I.
He will have to prove naysayers like me wrong: Chopra
“I see him playing Test cricket for India for many years, he might become the captain as well. He will play ODI cricket for India for many years. He might eventually become the captain there as well. So he (Gill) has just made his debut but he will have to make the best of his opportunities. He will have to prove naysayers like me wrong. Ishan Kishan is batting well, so I will not say anything to him. Suryakumar Yadav got out once, will not get out every time,” Chopra added.
