Shubman Gill has been consistent right from his debut on the international scene and is remarkably fit across all formats. The 25-year-old youngster has already started showing much promise for Team India, and some experts forecast that he will be the future of Indian cricket. The right-handed opener debuted in the ODI format against New Zealand in January 2019 and went on to make a Test debut against Australia in December 2020. Adaptation across formats along with potent shot selection is making for a player of immense potential.

Technical and mobile skills
Gill has been a treat to watch for cricket fans because of his batting technique. Driving on the up, forward, and backward punches and perfect cuts and pulls- Gill has developed himself as someone who can play all strokes in the book. And that makes him a definite plank of India’s batting order after some years.

He was the second highest run-getter in the recently concluded Test series against England with 452 runs in five matches. The average was an impressive 56.5, two centuries and two half-centuries to his name. He had a fall in the first Test but redeemed himself with a fine century in the Vizag Test which India went on to win to level the series. This helped India win the series 4-1 after his consistent display thereafter.

Creativity as a Player
The matches against England revealed maturity as a batsman by Gill, with the ability to recover from failures at early stages and produce knocks in subsequent innings which were important. In most of the last four Tests his batting put India into dominating positions and ensured that the team won even when he went wrong in the first innings.
