Gill will lead India’s batting in years to come, says former Indian batting coach Sanjay Bangar
Former Indian batting coach Sanjay Bangar has lauded young Indian batter Shubman Gill for his greatly impressive performance in the ongoing Champions Trophy. Bangar praised Gill’s elegance after his remarkable knock against Pakistan, highlighting the prodigious talent of the 25-year-old Indian opener. Bangar also expressed his belief that Shubman Gill has the potential to lead India’s batting attack for many years to come.
“Clearly, he’s the guy who is going to shoulder the responsibility of the Indian team going forward in years to come," Bangar said on JioHotstar.
“(His) foundations are really, really strong and add to that the confidence of nearly two-and-a-half years of performing in one-day cricket. In one-day cricket, he’s been phenomenal.”
“Now look, the straight drive, the on-drive are the shots wherein you cannot actually hit the ball really hard. But here, he was hitting the ball so hard that despite the mid-off and the mid-on fielder being on that 30-yard circle, the ball was going and hitting them. That’s the kind of timing he possesses," he said.
Gill blazed 46 off 52 in India’s commanding victory over Pakistan on Sunday in Dubai. India, meanwhile, have secured their place in the semis of the ongoing Champions Trophy. They will now meet New Zealand in the last group stage match of the tournament on Sunday (March 2) in Dubai.
