What's new

[PICTURES/VIDEOS] Is Shubman Gill the best young cricketer in the world today?

His feet don't move. He gets clean bowled all the time. After 57 Test innings, his highest score is only 126 and he averages mid 30s. His body language is timid. Doesn't look like captaincy material either.

Next 2 years are going to be very critical for his career. In spite of being hyped to the moon and given the Prince title, he could find himself out of the team for a better and younger prospect.

Virat Kohli at 25 was a far, far better player.
 
It is ridiculous to keep getting out like this. Chasing harmless balls. Gill is following the footsteps of Kohli like Abdulla shaik folloiwng the footsteps of Babar.
 
Dinesh Karthik highlights a flaw in the technique of Shubman Gill while speaking on a sports media outlet:

"I think Shubman Gill definitely has a slight technical error, which is pushing at the ball. When you play a lot of white ball cricket, you tend to do that. Travis Head does that as well, but what he has found is the method of doing that, and I think that players like Shubman Gill are caught in the trap of the way they bat in India and the way they bat outside."

"Which is, the moment you see the ball released from the bowler, your mind tells you that this is a full ball you need to go at it. Batsmen who travel abroad to places like Australia, England and South Africa tune themselves in practice when they see a fuller ball like that, especially against a new ball - A) they play with slightly soft hands, or B) they try and focus on playing the ball as close to the body or leave. Shubman Gill is playing like he would play in India, where he sees the release, goes for the ball with hard hands. Now in Australia, sometimes, in places like the Gabba, playing off the front foot is a little difficult. So at the start of the innings, you have to tell yourself that, I have to leave."

"For a No.3 batsman who has been around for so long, Shubman Gill has played a very, very ordinary shot, there are no mincing words here. And let's be honest here, that the Indian batting, as a group, have not fired here for some time now, and with every passing innings, they are putting pressure on themselves."
 
He’s not better than Saim Ayub or Kamran Ghulam

Rubbish player and I remember calling it since last year but people used the dengue excuse.

People need to stop regarding purple patches as peak.

1 year with 9 international centuries is good but he became rubbish soon after. Now Indians are latching onto jaiswal.

Jaiswal is good, and a better prospect then Gill but Indian fans are already rating him >>> saeed Anwar and Travis head 🤣🤣

Told you so! You were hyping him up as the best talent who’d leave Babar in the dust. That was never going to happen. Glad to see you finally coming around to a more realistic view.

He took the crown from Babar before Babar took the crown from Kohli. He is the player Babar fans think Babar is or will be.

Gill is the next great batsman in world cricket. He will dominate all formats for years to come.

Bumping this up
 
Gill has failed to live up to the hype that has been around him ever since the 2018 U-19 World Cup. Maybe he shouldn't have been overhyped at a young age to begin with, but that comes with the territory when you are an Indian player. Jaiswal by comparison has shown much more in a shorter period of time.

With Gill, his performances outside India are particularly concerning. I also question if India jumped the gun by making him vice-captain.
 
Ponting analyses Gill's overseas struggles

ICC Hall of Famer Ricky Ponting broke down the India opener’s struggles with replicating his home form overseas.

India opener Shubman Gill is one of the brightest talents in the game, but while his performances at home have been exceptional his overseas record has room for improvement.

Australia legend Ricky Ponting, speaking in the latest episode of The ICC Review, believes the opener can improve his fortunes in Australia with minor tweaks to his approach.

"I love watching him play. When you're watching him bat and bat well, he looks as good as anyone in world cricket,” Ponting said.

“But the numbers don't really stack up, do they, away from home?”

Since his breakout performance at the Gabba in 2021 where his composed 91 helped India clinch a historic series win, Gill has scored just one Test century away from home – in Bangladesh in 2022.

He averages 23.8 across nine Tests in England, Bangladesh, West Indies, South Africa and Australia.

In the same period, Gill has accumulated 1177 runs and four hundreds across 17 Tests at an average of 42.03 at home.

After injury forced him out of the series opener in Perth, Gill returned scores of 31 and 28 in Adelaide and just one run in Brisbane.

Ponting says the opener may be over-complicating his approach.

"I watched him a little bit in Adelaide and it almost looked like he changed things up too much,” Ponting said.

“Scott Boland was bowling and he changed his guard, he moved across to the off stump, presented his front pad to Boland, and Boland got him out with a full straight one."

However, rather than making any major changes, Ponting said Gill could improve his returns by trusting his instincts.

"If anything, I think he needs to back himself a little bit more, needs to back his defensive technique a little bit more here in Australia and still find a way to be able to score and score quickly.

"I'm sure when he's at home or when he's generally scored runs anywhere around the world, he scores them in a nice, attacking mode and almost to the point where he's not really thinking about getting out - he's only thinking about scoring runs.

"If he goes in with that mindset and that attitude, then things could change here in Melbourne for him."

The fourth Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test in Melbourne will begin on Boxing Day, with India chasing a win to keep alive their hopes of qualifying for the ICC World Test Championship Final.

Subhman Gill is just an ordinary batsmen, he may finish his career with 10 to 15 odi centuries or maybe even 20, but overall he's just another ordinary player.

Indians hype up everything. Not every ton dick and Harry will be an atg or Indian great( whatever that means)

The truth is gill was chosen as a replacement for dhawan who was fizzling out but a replacement for Dhawan if found will be Jaiswal. Infact Jaiswal has the talent to be 3x the batter dhawan was.

Gill on the other hand won't surpass Rohit or dhawan. He's a very very ordinary batsmen produced from a country that has typically produced the best top orders of all time

Sachin
Sehwag
Dhawan
Rohit( Prime even if he is a HTB)

Hindsight is always 20/20. At that time when he played under-19 level he was the best ever under-19 player for India. But his temperament has let him down. Way too many soft dismissals have made his career look worse. He was looking good in both the innings at the pink ball test. Probably the best looking batsman from India. He will definitely have a purple patch in his career.

I started watching Gill in 2022 and then I watched him in asia cup 2023 before dengue.

The dengue nonsense is just an excuse. India bullied pakistan black and blue in asia cup however Gill still got dismissed in a rubbish manner.

This kid has techincal issues, the biggest being his feet don't move. His footwork is non existent against pacers. He already had his purple patch.

When he was new and players didn't figure him out he was cracking it which is nothing new. Lots of players started their career this way.

He has technical flaws which need to be overcome.

I don't wanna get into future superstitions. If he has a purple patch, I'll ping you and cresit you 100% for believing, but atm, this is just all future hypothetical.

Are you sure about him being a “ rubbish player”?

He is 25 years old, there’s enough time for him to improve and become a world class batsman.

I can bet on it that he will become one of the best batsman in his generation. Has all the raw talent, just needs some fine tuning.

Lets see how it goes.

Against England he cut out all the extravagant shots and showed immense patience. Navigated a very tricky chase in 4th innings after top order collapse. Two more 100s as well playing responsibly. He looked like he turned a corner in Tests. Sadly his ODI habits crept back in. Going after balls with hard hands. He has weakness against incoming deliveries and left arm spinners something he has to work on.

Put me in too on this bet, I am more certain than ever that he is going to become a top batsman. He will have another great peak.
 
KL Rahul looked probably the best batsman from both sides against new ball in this series. Also looked good in SA. But we know how much he failed before getting to this stage. Some players adapt instantly (Sachin) . Some player take a series (Kohli). Some player needs a few years time (Head) . Gill was about to be dropped during ENgland series. He was given the ultimatum by team management. That is when he made a 100. He put a price on his wicket. Hope we drop players at the right time to make them better. Kohli was also dropped after he had struggles against West Indian bowlers. Fidel Edwards in particular. After he came back he looked better.
 
There is no doubt at all that Jaiswal is the best left handed batsman in Pakistan/India history. Yes he is better than Anwar and Ganguly.
 
Gill is so not the best young player and that is so clear from this thread where there are posts on Babar, Anwar but not him.

They may be Pakistani people but they are not Pakistan cricket fans. They are RizBar fans. You should also maybe not egg them on. They have already started to claim Rizwan is a greater Keeper+captain than Dhoni.

1) Rizwan is the 2nd best odi pk batter of all time.

2) Misbah is a better batsmen then Inzimam because Misbah averages higher in wc events

3) Babar is no 1 because Pakistan has never had a 50 avg batter which automatically means he's >>> 45 avg Sachin and 40 avg pointing as well.

4) Thinks 2024 is early 2000's

5) Has the gall to put both shadab khan and imam ul haq over afridi, razzaq and Anwar in an atg odi lineup

6) Thinks Sky is a horrible t20 batsmen but rizwan is a solid one and believes Warner is a rubbish player because he's a jerk

7) Constantly lies about me watching cricket in 2015 and to this date hasn't provided a single ss, or any proof.

8) Believes Babar and rizwan are pakistan's greatest t20 duo of all time

9) Thinks irfan Khan niazi is > Saim. Even when i belived saim was trash, I never put niazi >. Even I'm not that insane

Abhishek Nayar reveals the reason behind dropping Shubman Gill for the 4th Test during the press conference after the end of Day 1's play of the 4th Test:

"A lot of the decisions when they are made and the process of it being made, the communication is always there, transparency is there. It's obvious that, we felt, looking at the pitch, that Washy in the bowling attack, will give us a variation, especially towards the end once the ball gets old. Post 50 overs, we felt that was an area we wanted to get better at. We felt Washy could give us that solidarity with Jaddu, given how Travis Head and Alex Carey were getting runs, so having an off-spinner provides us that."

"Rohit will come up in the order and more likely than not he will open the innings for us. So I think that was the thought process and unfortunately for him [Gill], just how things panned out. He had to miss out and sometimes I just feel for a young player in a position like that, a big day, he wants to make his mark, he understands it is a team's requirement and it is unfortunate. I wouldn't say that he has been dropped per se, it is just unfortunate that he couldn't find his place in his team."
 

Rs 450 crore chit fund scam: Shubman Gill among 4 Gujarat Titans players likely to be summoned by CID​


Zala, who has been accused of orchestrating a Rs 450 crore chit-fund scam, is widely regarded as “kingpin” of the Ponzi operation. He opened offices in several districts across Gujarat, including Talod, Himmatnagar and Vadodara, and enlisted agents to gather funds from investors.​


India international cricketer Shubman Gill is among four Gujarat Titans players expected to be summoned by the Gujarat CID crime branch in connection with a Rs 450 crore ponzi scam, according to reports. In addition to Gill, the other cricketers likely to be questioned are Sai Sudharsan, Rahul Tewatia and Mohit Sharma.

The development follows the interrogation of Bhupendrasinh Zala, the alleged mastermind behind the Ponzi scheme, as per a report by Ahmedabad Mirror. Zala reportedly admitted during questioning that he had failed to return the investments made by the cricketers involved.


Zala, who has been accused of orchestrating a Rs 450 crore chit-fund scam, is widely regarded as “kingpin” of the Ponzi operation. He opened offices in several districts across Gujarat, including Talod, Himmatnagar and Vadodara, and enlisted agents to gather funds from investors. Zala is said to have collected Rs 6,000 crore in financial transactions through ICICI and IFC banks, totaling Rs 175 crore.


Reports suggest that Gill, who captained Gujarat Titans in the 2024 IPL, invested Rs 1.95 crore in the scheme, while Mohit Sharma, Tewatia and Sudharsan made smaller contributions. Since Gill is currently part of India’s Test squad in Australia, the CID plans to summon all the players at a later date. Attempts to reach Mohit Sharma for comment have been unsuccessful.

According to Deputy Inspector General of Police (CID-Crime) Parikshita Rathod, Zala used his company, BZ Financial Services, to collect money from investors by promising them high returns. Zala was on the run for nearly a month before being arrested in Mehsana district on December 27. He is currently in custody until January 4.


Rathod further revealed that Zala used the funds to acquire assets worth Rs 100 crore, both movable and immovable, but failed to repay the investors as promised. Seven others have also been arrested in connection with the case. The CID claims Zala had promised investors an annual return of 36 percent.


Gujarat CID officials have stated that the players’ cooperation will be crucial in the ongoing investigation, and further developments are expected as the case progresses.

Bang average batsman. He would struggle to keep his place in the Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh teams.

Indian batting standards are poor but surely they have better batsman waiting in the wings. He is 25 and has been around for half a decade but still pretends to be a youngster.

KL Rahul 2.0 - all hype no substance.

He has also come from poverty and hasn’t been pampered like the softy Gill, so he is going to give his 100% as well and not let fame and money detract him.

He hasn’t developed the way people thought he would. Problem with most modern young batsman is that with T20s they can’t go to county to grind for couple of season to improve their techniques like past legends used to.
So only the best amongst the best will become great test players in this generation.

Former India cricketer Subramaniam Badrinath made a controversial remark while speaking to a local sports media outlet:

"If this was Shubman Gill from Tamil Nadu, he would have been dropped. It is is very difficult for me to see this. For that level, he has not lived to expectations."

"You can get runs, you cannot but there should have been intent, aggression. I wanted him to tire out the bowlers. I want you to make the ball old. Help your teammates and stand firm even if runs are not coming. Play 100 balls, tire the bowlers. This is what your team contribution [is supposed to be]. Labuschange and McSweeney did that in a couple of games. By playing out a lot of dot balls, they had actually made Bumrah injured."
 
Former India captain and chief selector Krishnamachari Srikkanth said on his YouTube channel:

“I’ve always maintained that Shubman Gill is an overrated cricketer but nobody listened to me. He is a highly overrated cricketer.”

“When Gill is getting this much of a long rope, some people might wonder whether even players like Suryakumar Yadav could have been given a longer rope in Tests.”

“Gill is right now surviving because he gets ten chances and scores on the tenth chance after nine failures. And because of that, he is getting another ten chances to succeed. Anyone and everyone can amass runs on Indian wickets, The challenge is scoring away from home in SENA countries and that’s where players like KL Rahul pass the test.”
 
He is a joke, but the good thing for him is that Indian batting standard is a joke too.

If you average 45 in Test cricket you are an Indian batting great. A joke of a cricket nation that lives in its own bubble.
 
Shubman Gill is Pakistani material. Send him to Pakistan and he’ll become a superstar cricketer here just like Babar Azam.
 
Aakash Chopra, while speaking on his YouTube channel:

"Everything looked fine. Shubman Gill was being made the vice-captain. He was regularly being assigned that role and then suddenly Shubman Gill was dropped. So pressure was put on him as to what was happening as he is potentially not coming in the captaincy thoughts and is not coming in the T20 format at all."

While speaking on his YouTube channel, Harbhajan Singh:

"We all said Jaiswal should be there. The way he played in Australia, he showed he is ready. We said he should not just be in the squad, but he should play in the XI. But, now, I think him playing in the XI will be difficult. Shubman Gill is the vice-captain. He will open the innings. You can’t say that Yashasvi Jaiswal will open, Shubman Gill will play at No. 3 and Virat Kohli at No. 4. If that happens, where will Shreyas Iyer play? Yashasvi should have played. When a player is in form, he should play."

"(If Shubman Gill was not made vice-captain), then Yashasvi could have played. Yashasvi and Rohit would have opened, Virat Kohli would have batted at No. 3. Shreyas Iyer at No. 4 and the rest of the batting line-up. Gill would have sat out in that case. But, now he is vice-captain. But, I don’t think a vice-captain has sat out."

"I think they have picked him as vice-captain, keeping the road ahead in mind. May be, in the next six-eight months, whenever the transition happens, Gill will be given that responsibility (captaincy). Maybe they could have waited until the end of this tournament."

"I am happy for Gill, but I wanted Yashasvi Jaiswal to play. The left-right combination at the top is important. And he plays freely, he is in good form. He doesn’t have the pressure of fighting for a spot. He is stable. He could have batted at the top."
 
Ravi Ashwin via his Youtube channel:

"I won't say whether the decision to appoint Gill was right or wrong, but the point raised was correct—that he was also the vice-captain in the last series. I think this decision is a futuristic call, as the management might be thinking about who could be their leader in the future."

"If we look at Rishabh Pant and KL Rahul, the latter is a keeper. There could be a possibility that both Pant and Rahul play, but they’ve given the vice-captaincy to the player whose place in the playing XI is confirmed. If Shubman goes on to become a captain in the future, then he can lean on Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah to guide him."
 
Star Indian batter Shubman Gill has admitted that his batting in red-ball cricket is a concern for him:

“Red-ball batting is a concern. Sometimes, I think with the red ball, in the matches that I play, I get very good 25-30 runs. I think in those moments, sometimes I put too much pressure on myself to be able to score big runs. I think that is not the way that I have grown up playing my game,"

“There is a certain zone that I am in, a certain intent that I am in, and sometimes I think I lose that because I put too much pressure on myself that I have to get a big run now that I am set."

“I think in those crucial moments, I sometimes lose my focus and concentration. I think it keeps you in the game all the time."

“As a person, I like to be involved in the game and what is happening. I think it brings out the best in me as a player when I am constantly involved in the game,"

“I think any innings that we play at any level, it’s very important to be able to get runs, get back in form, and have that feel. When you are playing well, when you are in that zone, it’s important to stay in that zone as long as possible, and that’s what I was trying to do when I was batting there."
 
Does he even deserve a place in the Test side? An average of 35 after 32 Tests, that too after being hyped as the next big thing in Indian cricket.​

Why is he even your vc?

Rn almost every young indian cricketer is > him?

Abisheikh looks like he'll be a future t20 star while jaiswal seems to be a future test star and possibly all format star?

Sanju and tilak varma are better t20 prospects and in test despite Pant having a poor series the likes of Jaiswal and Pant will probably lead the way for indian test side.

Gill only makes it into the odi team but even so, he's nothing special. He's been horrible in odi once he recovered from dengue. His inflated stats come from pre dengue.
 
Shubman Gill, via a video posted by ICC:

“I’m definitely very hungry, and it is something that you always dream of as a kid, and I’ve played one ICC tournament and came very close to winning a senior men’s trophy."

“There is no space for defeat only. I think the top teams are playing, and it’s very exciting and very grueling, and you know that you don’t have any margin of error, so that is very exciting."

"Whenever I think of that Champion’s Trophy, there are a couple of things that I remember. One is Mahi bhai jumping when he missed the Ashwin bhai ball, and I think they (England) needed five runs off the last ball. The batsman misses, and then the commentators say, ‘The batsman misses, Dhoni misses, but it doesn’t matter,’ and then everybody is jumping and then seeing everyone dancing in the white coat when they were getting that trophy."

Rahul averages similar after player 50+ tests.

Gill was at least was good in England series. When was the last time we said that for Rahul?

PS: Not an apologist of Gill, far from it. He has digressed really badly. Just that Indian cricket has far bigger problems than him. Gill at least has age on his side.

I think the vice-captaincy suits him

The opening pair of Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill has added 1868 runs in ODIs, with an average of 74.72. It includes 11 fifty-run stands and 6 century stands.
 
He is slowly turning into a fantastic fielder. Jaiswal is another one

7th ODI hundred for Gill today against England in the 3rd ODI of the series.

First Indian player to score a century in 50th ODI and the quickest in terms of innings (50) to seven ODI centuries
 
Another 50 plus knock for Shubman Gill, this time against Bangladesh in CT 2025. Appeared as an epitome of statpadding tonight. 53*(75) so far.
