Indian opener Shubman Gill scored his maiden Test Hundred against Bangladesh in 1st Test Match. Gill was drafted in the XI as Skipper Rohit Sharma’s replacement as he gets injured during 2nd ODI against Bangladesh.
Now Rohit Sharma is getting fit for 2nd Test Match and Former Indian Cricketer Aakash Chopra feels that Gill’s recent success is bad news for KL Rahul, who failed to impress in the first Test.
“It is a problem for KL Rahul that he has had two low scores. He got an inside edge in the first innings and got out to the bouncer trap in the second innings. He is an amazing player but with the job Shubman Gill has done, who will go out when Rohit Sharma comes back? Whenever you give him a chance, he grabs it with both hands, and gives you a sweet headache, that how will you keep him out?” Chopra said in his YouTube video.
I feel he is a No. 3 or No. 4 batter, for a long, long, long time: Aakash Chopra
“What makes Shubman Gill special? He plays extremely cleanly. His playing style aligns with white-ball cricket, in that his feet and body remain beside the ball, and the path is always clean for the bat’s downswing. He can play as an opener on subcontinental pitches and will score runs as well, but when I see him closely, I feel he is a No. 3 or No. 4 batter, for a long, long, long time,” he added
