Former India cricketer Harbhajan Singh hailed the future of Indian cricket, Shubman Gill – who many believe is an heir-apparent to Virat Kohli. The former India cricketer went on to highlight the stark contrasts between Kohli and Gill.
The evening game on Super Sunday saw centuries being hit from either side as the present of India Cricket Virat Kohli and the future Shubman Gill slammed stupendous centuries. The duo smashed two consecutive tons in as many games to establish their supremacy but the youngster’s knock trumped the veteran’s.
It was a memorable day in IPL history as an unprecedented three centuries were slammed across two games in one day of IPL.
Shubman Gill’s scintillating form continued with a second successive century, powering Gujarat Titans to victory against the Royal Challengers Bangalore at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium.
“Shubman Gill constructs his innings brilliantly. He has his own persona and possesses that lazy elegance, unlike intense Virat Kohli. He can play all kinds of shots with ease just like Kohli, but he won’t appear as aggressive as Kohli with his body language. He is a different character. He’s such a prospective talent for India,” speaking on Star Sports’ Cricket Live, Harbhajan Singh said.
Former India cricketer Harbhajan Singh commended Kohli for his knock which hardly had any risky shots and this quality makes him a dangerous batter across formats.
