Former India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh showered praise on young batting sensation Shubman Gill ahead of the forthcoming ICC Cricket World Cup. The 24-year-old is the best-ranked Indian batter in the 50-over format and is just behind Babar Azam who holds the No. 1 spot in the ICC rankings.
“Shubman Gill has the potential to become the best player of this generation. The guy works hard. Since he was 19-20, his attitude has always been like that. He works four times harder than a normal guy since he was a kid. Whatever I have worked with him, he can be the player of this era,” Yuvraj told The Week.
“He (Gill) scored 91 in a Test match which India won. He scored two fifties as well on his first tour to Australia which I don’t know how many players have done. I am sure he will score runs in Australia, South Africa as well as England,” he added.
“He (Gill) is in such a stage right now that he is fearless. He can be a game-changer for India in the World Cup. He opened up the game against Pakistan and put the bowlers under pressure,” the former cricketer concluded.
