Is Shubman Gill the New King? Better Than Virat Kohli

There were many great batsmen India has had, like Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, and recently Virat Kohli, who made a great impact on modern cricket. But India has been blessed again with the classical and energetic young batsman Shubman Gill, who is making a great impression in the modern game. There are many talks about this: Will Shubman Gill be the next Virat Kohli? Many cricket experts have their own opinions about it, but is it true? Let’s explore it together.

THE BEGINNING OF HIS CRICKET ERA.

Shubman Gill was born on 8 September 1999 in Fazilka, Punjab. From a young age, he was very passionate about the game and achieved top ranks in his local tournaments in the village and others. He shined when having great performances in the Under-19 World Cup 2018 for India, where he was the youngest top scorer and played a great role in India winning the tournament. With such great potential for making runs, he was soon selected for the Indian National Team.

BATTING TECHNIQUES:

Shubman Gill’s batting style is good because of his techniques and classical batting, which seem similar to Virat Kohli. He has the ability to play in every situation, whether fast in T20 or slow on the pitch in Test cricket.

SHUBMAN GILL VS VIRAT KOHLI:

When looking at Virat’s game, his batting is aggressive, classical, with great timing and the ability to play according to the situation. He is known as the chase master and has the game ability to increase pressure on the opposing team. His fitness is often praised by all cricket fans and others. Cricketers try to follow him due to his hard work, diet, and much more disciplined lifestyle. These qualities and steps earned him consistency in all formats of cricket and to be on top in the rankings.

Shubman Gill has a mixture of aggression in his batting style. He plays according to the situation and is often praised for his fitness, along with having great records as a captain. He has the potential to improve with time and experience in the list of greats in the future.

EXPERTS' OPINIONS:

  • Mohammad Kaif says that Gill has such techniques that are similar to Sachin Tendulkar. While Virat has some weaknesses, Gill has a very stable batting technique and can play according to the situation.
  • Gary Kirsten says it’s unfair to compare Gill to Kohli and Sachin, because they are both the greatest of all time and have contributed much more to the game of cricket, so it’s too early to say that Gill is better than or the same as Virat and Sachin.

LEADERSHIP:

Gill is one of the youngest to be appointed captain of Test cricket, just because of his temperament and passion for cricket. Some other cricketers describe his captaincy as a little bit unique, not like aggressive Virat but more calm like Rohit.

WHAT MAKES GILL THE NEXT VIRAT KOHLI:

Gill has shown early performance, like hundreds in Tests, ODIs, and T20s. Kohli was known for his match winning performances and aggressive batting. Well, Gill has already posted key hundreds and played a crucial role in winning important matches for India. The young captain, with a unique style, is already praised by cricket experts and is expected to improve with time and experience. There are many other qualities that make Gill the next Virat Kohli.

But Shubman Gill is the future of Indian cricket and was recently appointed as the captain for India’s Test cricket. India has moved on from Sunil Gavaskar to Sachin Tendulkar and to Kohli; now it’s time for Shubman Gill to shine for Indian cricket, inspire the upcoming new talent, and leave a great legacy behind.
