Champions Trophy: Every Responsibility That Gill Has Shouldered Made Him Better, Says Sidhu
Navjot Singh Sidhu: Former India batter Navjot Singh Sidhu believes vice-captain Shubman Gill faring well with the bat in the 2025 Champions Trophy has been made possible due to him being made better by every responsibility that he’s shouldered in his career so far.
In two matches so far, top-ranked ODI batter Gill shone by making an unbeaten 101 and 46 in India’s successful chases against Bangladesh and Pakistan respectively. On Sunday, Gill wowed everyone with his regal front-foot straight drive fetching him a boundary off Shaheen Shah Afridi.
“Look, see, nothing grows under a banyan tree. And the banyan tree of Indian cricket is basically Rohit Sharma and with him, Virat Kohli. But when you look at Shubman Gill, those two straight drives, even the blistering cover drive, this is like a blitzkrieg where the opposition is taken aback, you know, it's awe-inspiring. This man has emerged from the shadows of that banyan tree and has come of age.”
