Former Indian Skipper Kapil Dev has advised GT star Shubman Gill, The 23-year-old has scored 890 runs in his 17 innings with a strike rate of 157.80, He has scored a double century in 50-over cricket and also scored his maiden ton in Test cricket. Kapil Dev Said Indian cricket is fortunate for having a talent like Shubman Gill,
Kapil Dev Said:
“He needs to watch out for the next three years before he takes his place in the hall of modern greats. When Sunil (Gavaskar) finished playing, Sachin (Tendulkar) carried on the good work. When Sachin departed, we had Virat (Kohli) donning the hat. Now, with Kohli still around, Indian cricket is fortunate to have Gill preparing to dominate world cricket with his astonishing prowess,” Kapil Dev told Sportstar.
“The problems may not necessarily come from the field of play. He will need to focus on his game as his popularity rises. Expectations of him are bound to grow. He may need sound counselling in today’s world of exposure. It was different when Gavaskar and Tendulkar were ruling the world. Today, a youngster is constantly under scrutiny. Every move is put on social media. I want Gill to stay grounded and blessed. He is destined to go far, but for the next three years he has to stay focused and consistent,” Kapil stated.
