Former Indian cricketer Atul Wassan has hailed Shubman said he is a well grounded player. He further states that in a tournament like the IPL, anyone can lose focus given the money and fame, but Gill is composed.
“I feel Gill will gobble up the trio of Dhoni, Kohli, Rohit because the way he is batting. I feel next in line is Mahi. Even the Gujarat Titans team has looked excellent. Mumbai were in the game with Suryakumar Yadav there, but Gujarat have a good bowling depth as well. Despite coming in as a new team, they have made an impact. We had seen such formidability from CSK. Talking about Gill, he is a well grounded player. Anyone could lose focus given the money and fame in IPL, but Gill has looked composed,” he said in a conversation on ABP news.
The final match of the on-going season of IPL will be former India’s captain MS Dhoni’s 250th IPL match. The legendary wicket-keeper batter will become the first player in history to play 250 IPL matches. He will aim to lift the trophy fifth time by defeating Gujarat Titans.
