In the battle between the present and the future of Indian cricket, Shubman Gill has proved that he is ready to shoulder the burden of Team India after Virat Kohli. Kohli himself had predicted Shubman a few days ago, this batsman proved true in the last league match of IPL 2023 against Royal Challengers Bangalore. One thing Sambhavna and another Gill. Go ahead and lead the next generation. God bless you. After Shubman Gill's first IPL century, Virat shared this on his Insta story and now Gill proved it right by hitting a century against Virat's team RCB that he is ready to handle the Indian team.

Shubman Gill himself has said this many times that he has grown up watching Virat Kohli play and considers him his idol. After he returned from the Under-19 world, Gill had said that he wanted to play like Virat Kohli. The way he handles the pressure. I want to do the same. Then he told that in his spare time, he watches Virat Kohli's old innings on YouTube and then practices his shots on the nets.

A glimpse of Kohli is seen in Gill
Chasing Royal Challengers Bangalore's target of 198 runs, Shubman Gill showed such an aspect of his batting that matches Virat. Seeing this inning of Gill, it seemed that he was learning the art of run-chasing after watching Kohli. Gill took a measured risk. He hit boundaries when needed and also focused on stealing runs, and at the same time he made sure that the way Virat stood up for the team till the last ball, he should do the same.

Gill joins Kohli's special club in just two hours
To reach the playoffs of IPL 2023, RCB needed to register a win over Gujarat Titans in the last match of the league stage. Bangalore bowled first and Virat Kohli scored his second consecutive century. He became the third batsman to do so after Shikhar Dhawan and Jos Buttler. But, even Kohli would hardly have guessed that after 2 hours another batsman would enter this club and Gill also followed the path of his idol and hit his second consecutive century in IPL 2023.

Like Kohli, Gill also completed his century in the 20th over and he also returned unbeaten like Virat. Shubman Gill played an unbeaten inning of 104 runs in 52 balls. At the same time, Kohli scored 101 runs in 61 balls.
