Star India batter Shubman Gill is going through a golden period in his career. The 23-year-old has scored hundreds across all three formats in the first two months of 2023, which also includes a double-hundred in ODIs. Gill further plundered 890 runs in 17 innings in IPL 2023 and was awarded the coveted Orange Cap for finishing as the highest run scorer of the tournament.
“I will not rush him at this juncture because we want to see him as the next batting legend of the country. If things go well, which I am sure will, he can be the next batting sensation from this country. He has that game, aura and personality. In that process, later on, we can see him develop as a good captain also,” Singh told Hindustan Times.
“First thing is he should hold his place in the team whatever format you are picking him for. You are sure that for the next couple of years he will not be a liability in the team. The captain has to be able to pull his weight in the team,” he added.
