This year Shubman Gill has emerged as a big batsman. After scoring runs in international cricket, Shubman created panic by scoring three centuries in IPL 2023. Playing for Gujarat Titans, Shubman scored 890 runs in 17 matches and was the top scorer of the season. Earlier, he had scored a century in all three formats at the international level. This also includes a double century in ODIs. Seeing the consistent performance of Shubman, Pakistan's great bowler Wasim Akram has compared this young player to India's legend Sachin Tendulkar.
Akram said- If I bowl to a player like Shubman, even in T20 format, it feels like I am bowling to Sachin Tendulkar in the first 10 overs in ODI cricket when only two fielders are given 30 yards. are allowed to remain outside the circle. Agreeing with Wasim Akram's comparison, former Pakistan captain Salman Butt also heaped praise on Shubman Gill and said that the 23-year-old batsman has earned such praise because he has been performing brilliantly over the past few months.
Salman Butt said on his YouTube channel- Wasim Bhai said that bowling to Gill is like bowling to Tendulkar. I think everyone has their way of giving compliments. A lot of big cricketers compare youngsters with legends of past eras because they can relate to them. However, these are qualifying comments for Shubman. It is a matter of pride for him that Wasim Akram, one of the best bowlers in the world, has said this. Shubman has earned it.
Salman Butt said- His batting has been excellent in the last few months. He is at the top of his game and is looking to be one of the best batsmen in cricket at the moment. After a successful IPL season, Shubman will now be part of Team India for the World Test Championship final. Team India will play the title match against Australia on June 7 at the Oval Stadium in London.
