Shubman Gill versus Sai Sudarshan versus Yashasvi Jaiswal: Who will have a better career?

[Unbiased-Fan]

Three of world cricket's most exciting talents. All three have wonderful start to their respective careers with some very impressive stats in domestic cricket.


Lets check their stats,

---

1. Sai Sudarshan

FORMAT	Mat	Inns	NO	Runs	HS	Ave	BF	SR	100s	50s	4s	6s	Ct	St

* Career Highlight :-
1. ODI debut series in South Africa where he effortlessly scored two half centuries against Nandre Burger and co.
2. Innings of 96 in IPL finals verses Multi time Champions.


* Things to improve :-
1. Strangely first class average is very low. We have many unknown batting talents in domestic cricket who average well over 50. Hopefully, Sai will improve that.

Currently Jaiswal is looking unstoppable with great stats in bothTests and T20s.

Gill is inconsistent but brilliant at times.

Sudharsan looks effective and pleasing to eyes every time he comes to bat.



Who among the three will be the best one when they finish their career?

 

[AMSS]

In white ball format, India can also afford to get Abhishek at the top although he'll be a LOT more frustrating and inconsistent. He'd still be worth it for the explosive power a la Sehwag.

As batsmen, I'd rate Jaiswal above all. Sai could well storm into contention ahead of Gill in years to come.

 

[battler]

Jaiswal
Gill
Sai
In that order

 

[Mesozoic]

Jaiswal is a tier above the other two.

Whoever thinks otherwise should go and watch him play in the series against England. Not taking anything away from Gill and Sai though..both are exceptional talents.

 

[Dhakar Pola]

Jaiswal hands down. He is the no 3 "that batting talent" after Sachin and virat for India. You can bookmark my post we can visit this after 10 years if alive

 

[sweep_shot]

Jaiswal seems to be the best one out of the three.

Jaiswal is an all-format batter with a good technique.

 

[Devadwal]

Jasiwal is destructive but gill is no less than him . Sai is still raw .

 

[Champ_Pal]

Jaiswal has the highest ceiling.
Sai Sudrashan lacks the muscle to play T20's. He is a very good ODI player.
Gill can play all formats. But he should not open in T20's.

 

[FearlessRoar]

Yashasvi Jaiswal's performance suggests he will become a legend in the years to come

 

[Red-Indian]

Jaiswal has the highest ceiling.
Sai Sudrashan lacks the muscle to play T20's. He is a very good ODI player.
Gill can play all formats. But he should not open in T20's.

Gill and Jaiswal better start getting to know each other really well - their calls for a quick run, tastes in music, bowlers the other doesn't like to face, favourite movies etc.

They're going to be spending a lot of time together over the next 10 years - long tours, tournaments etc. - potentially trading the captaincy back and forth.

Even with the occasional slumps they'll have, they have shown talent and done enough already to be given long ropes in all formats. The Indian selectors usually have plenty of patience on talents like these as demonstrated by our success with Rohit and many others.

 

[Ab Fan]

Sai Sudarshan is well behind in the reckoning, his sample in domestic cricket is low which means he is yet to go through a phase of upside down, something which Gill has experienced in international career already.

Gill and Jaiswal have sealed the two spots in top 3. Sharma and Kohli, on other hand, are unmovable from their spots till 2027 World Cup, which means the chances of Sai Sudarshan representing full time Indian side is improbable.

Within 4 years down the line, India will certainly be able to find a new talent of Gill and Jaiswal calibre.

If Abhishek is not opening in T20's, selectors might as well drop him. His style of play is perfectly suited for opening in T20's.

Gill and Jaiswal will still be playing together if Gill comes one down.

 

[harshjoshi87]

Jaiswal struggled in South Africa. His test will come in BGT later this year.

Gill seems to be BCCI & broadcaster's poster boy after Kohli.

Sudarshan hasn't yet played many matches.

 

[Red-Indian]

Oh true. By no means am I suggesting that the only position for Gill is opening. I think he makes an excellent ODI opener and a decent T20I opener.

By all means, if Abhishek can make the T20I opening position his own, he should have it.

The one thing Gill brings with him is that left-right combination. Not decisive but useful.

 

[BaaliSoda]

Not going by the stats (but having watched all three of them play for various teams in the last 2 years), expecting Jaiswal to top our batting units in all formats in a few years. Of the remaining two, even though there isn't much sample I feel Sai Sudarshan is technically (temperamentally as well?) a much better batter than Gill.

 

[Vikram1989]

Jaiswal will be the top batsmen for sure in all formats. I believe sai having a very good technique will thrive in odi and test matches for sure.He plays fast and spin equally well. I never saw an indian debut youngster as comfortable against burger's pace in sa . Tilak, Gaikwad, Iyer were unable to take a single on the other end.As far as I can remember rohit and yuvi were good on debut against high pace.Kohli got better in 2011 sa odi series. Gill can stat pad a lot in odis and test matches on flat tracks especially but will loose to rest in the long term for the impact on tough pitches.

 

[JattMaula]

Gill's footwork still hasn't improved. It's been 4 years since he graduated from u19.

His timing remains exceptional but intent is lacking in t20's.

Jaiswal has that dawg in him. Hasn't looked in trouble apart from SA minefields. There too, he recovered by the last inning. Never short of intent, he is by far the leading young batter in India.

Sai has good temperament but needs a super successful season or two for Tamilnadu to make his case with conviction. And he will have to bat quite a lot faster to play for India in limited overs.

Abhishek is a good LO player and I would take him ahead of Gill in t20's, presently.

I think people are being too harsh on Jaiswal for SA.

This kid seems like someone who has good self awareness and addresses his weaknesses. He will be exposed in different ways by different bowlers but my gut instinct is, this kid will be able to address those.

 

[AMSS]

Gill has technical flaws but that's not even his chief worry. He has enough strengths to overcome them. His main worry should be the mentality he bats with and it'll progressively get entrenched if not weeded out at this stage of his career.

Sai Sudarshan needs a bumper FC season. Till he does that and takes his average well in high 50s+, he is not coming into serious contention. Still, I think he might be a sounder batsman than Gill overall although the XTRA gear Gill possesses.

So far, Jaiswal looks an anomaly. No technical flaws that is immediately apparent to the naked eye, temperamentally sound, and aggressive.

 

[TabishNator]

Jaiswal easily

 

[BouncerGuy]

I would say that Jaiswal has a much better start to his career and he will surely be doing better than the other 2. Jaiswal is pretty hungry for runs and his intent looked good, plays some good shots, already made a name for himself in all formats.

 

[jnaveen1980]

These guys will be partners in crime for many years to come. They are not replacements of each other

 

[jnaveen1980]

Both Jaiswal and Gill have few chonks to iron out. Temperamentally Jaiswal is superior. Gill on bouncy wickets is going to be a force

Since i can’t reply on other thread as it’s archived, we can continue discussion on this thread.

I suppose either you are unable to comprehend my post or are just talking without giving it a thought about it.

I am talking about long term, WC2027 and 31. Rohit will most likely retire after 2025 CT and won’t play either those events, so how are Rohit and Gill in contention? Unless you believe Rohit is going to play 2027 and 2031 WCs let’s not make this about Rohit vs Gill as they aren’t in competition.


Gill is not some random prospect which you are making him out to be.

He has a good track record in list A, averages above 60 in whatever little ODI he has played and has good test record.

Indian team has 3 openings. 2 openers and one down.

Gill, Jaiswal should be given chances even when they fail few times or are out of form to groom them to occupy 2 of those 3 spots. Those two are the most promising prospects for ODI’s.

If you have arguments for any other prospects feel free to make.

I never said rohit will play till 2031 so I have no clue why you're bringing these points up.

Gill's 65 Avg is as relevant as Babar 56 avg.

Rohit is a hitman and one of the most iconic batters for India, he wasnt just a replacement to the Aggressive sehwag, he was the man who surpassed him.

His natural successor is Jaiswal(most likely). The issue is after Dhawan fizzled out, India didn't find a suitable opener to compliment rohit. KL rahul, Ishan Kidhan and Gill worked for a very very short period of time but didn't prove to be effective.

The replacement you're looking for should provide value equivalent to what dhawan would provide.

 

[Vikram1989]

Most of the Aussies picked jaiswal as the next big one.Jaiswal will be thoroughly challenged in this year from everyone.No more way to fly under the radar.

 

[giri26]

Sai Sudharshan is a compact player and needs more chances in the Indian team. He has good technique and he showed that in SA in ODIs. India are kind of messing up Washington Sundar's career and I feel these players are the future of Indian batting and need to get more games. Enough of Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul, time to move away from them and give young players a chance. Lots of times watching a player bat gives more insight than their stats, Sai is one of those players for me. Jaiswal probably will have a better career than the other two but for India's sake I hope all three have good careers.

 

[Cricket Warrior]

Yashasvi Jaiswal has a better chance because he has better technique compared to other two.
