Ex-Indian cricketer compares Gill’s batting to Virat Kohli
Former Indian cricketer Ajay Jadeja has lauded young Indian batter Shubman Gill, drawing comparisons between his batting style and that of the legendary Virat Kohli. Gill, who has been making waves in the ongoing IPL, scored his fifth half-century of the tournament on Friday, marking his third consecutive fifty in GT’s 38-run victory over SRH. So far, Gill has amassed 465 runs in 10 games in IPL 2025. Against SRH, Gill played a magnificent innings of 76 from 38 deliveries. His innings was laced with 10 boundaries and two sixes.
"It’s business as usual with Shubman Gill because this man is just so consistent. We have a Virat Kohli in our country, but Gill is no less. If you look at the consistency with which he scores—it’s similar in style. They don’t take unnecessary risks; they wait for the bowler to make a mistake. Unless absolutely required, you rarely see them throw their wicket away. Skill-wise, Gill is outstanding. He peppered the offside beautifully today with those cover drives," Jadeja said on JioHotstar.
"What stood out were those three big hits—one over mid-wicket off Pat Cummins and another off the other pacer. That was a new element today. Otherwise, he remains rock solid," he said.
Jadeja also lauded Titans’ brilliant fielding efforts
“I think the right word for GT was ‘energy’. That catch from Rashid Khan and all those diving efforts were fabulous. He ran a lot, slid in and still managed to pull it off. That effort shows. What we saw today was a Gujarat Titans side probably stung by their last loss against the Rajasthan Royals. One thing they were sure of today was giving it their best, and the energy was top-level," Jadeja said.
