In future, the 20-Year-old Punjab boy Shubman Gill can be one of the most successful players in the Indian team. He has already impressed everyone through his consistent performances in domestic cricket. ESPNcricinfo recently talked to the player about the best player he had played against and his favourite non-cricketer sportsperson.
The youngster picked Brazilian footballer Neymar Junior when he was asked about the favourite sportsperson outside cricket. The Kolkata Knight Riders player has picked RCB star AB de Villers for the best non-Indian cricketer he has played against.
Virat Kohli is fun-loving: Shubman Gill
Indian skipper Virat Kohli is seen in the cricket field with full of aggression. However, the hard-hitting Kohli is not similar in the dressing room as Shubman Gill finds him fun-loving and light-hearted in the dressing room.
Many opines that Shubman Gill is the future Virat Kohli. The player in domestic cricket has amazing records. He is the youngest player to score a double hundred for India. He scored unbeaten 204 runs in the third unofficial Test against West Indies A.
We have seen Virat Kohli’s concern for fitness but we also know that the Indian captain is a foodie. Gill was asked that will he offer chhole bhature to Virat Kohli. The player instantly said that he will not even try to offer (as he knows his Skipper’s Fitness concern).
Shubman Gill’s international career
Shubman Gill is currently with the national team in Indore. The player is selected for the ongoing home Test series against Bangladesh but he is waiting for his maiden Test opportunity. He has only played two ODIs for India against New Zealand, earlier this year. He didn’t score many runs but he has marked his entry in the international cricket. He has opined that to play calmly in international cricket, he keeps focus and control the things which he can.
You can do that only by keeping those things aside that you cannot control. And try to focus on things that you can control.
