Delhi: Shubman Gill surprised everyone by batting brilliantly on England tour. In the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, he played both responsibilities as captain and number 4 batsman.

Many people were suspicious about taking the place of Virat Kohli, but Gill responded to everyone with his bat.

Akash Chopra praised

Former Indian cricketer Akash Chopra fiercely appreciated Gill’s performance. On his YouTube channel, he said that Shubman told that he is now writing his own story, not filling anyone else’s place. Akash said, “When you start batting on the new number and that number is of Virat Kohli, it is sure to be compared. But Gill said, ‘Quit comparison, I will write my story myself.’ ‘

Gill scored history by scoring 754 runs

Gill scored a total of 754 runs in this series, too in only 10 innings. His average was 75.4. He equaled Sunil Gavaskar and Don Bradman in terms of scoring the most centuries in England. In the Edbaston Test, he scored about 430 runs in a single match by scoring a double century and then a century.

Balance between both captain and batsman

Akash Chopra also said that success as a captain will be achieved only when you perform well with the bat.

He said, “Gill batsman helped captain Gill. He just scored, but has created history. Has a captain ever scored more than 750 runs in a Test series?”

Runs were not scored outside, now the picture has changed

Earlier there used to be a lot of questions about Gill’s batting abroad. His average outside Asia was only 29 and in England he did nothing special in the first three Tests. His performance was good only in the Australia series.

But on this tour, he changed everything.

Now the next challenge against West Indies

Now Shubman will once again field against West Indies in two Test matches in September. Fans hope that they will continue their form even further.
