He has come of age. All format player. Scores big. In form of his life. Has like 7 tons in 2023 already. Plays elegantly. We're lucky to another elegant batter in the era of tullars everywhere. He has the potential to take the throne from Babar and sit on it for a long time. World-class Gill.
Lol well known classless player has classless fans. How is this surprising?
This will continue the more people start to put Gill on Sachins tier or call him the greatest indian batsmen.
I meant Kohli's fans will spew more rubbish once Gill starts to get compared to Sachin and eclipses Kohli.Nowhere have I seen till date fans of Sachin go and abuse Kohli and his sister just because he is on the verge of breaking Sachin's record of most ODI centuries.
Lol Babar isn't in the same strosphere as Gill in terms of talent..
His potential is of an all time batsmen.
Babar is a Pakistani great, not an all time. Similar to Kane and Root.You do realize that when you say Babar, you're talking about an all-time batsman, don't you?![]()
Gill has arrived!! Soon to overtake King!!
Formers Kaptaan's crown was illegitimate in first place.
And we don't need kings. That implies others are there to serve him.
We need soldiers. Gill is coming along nicely.
Can’t wait for India v Pakistan now
Gill is going to humble Shaheen “SochnaBhiManaHai” whenever it happens

Yes well spoken as a Pakistan supporter - who needs enemies?
Need to show up in WTC final first
People forget IPL performances
This..
You need to show up when it matters the most. Gill got probably close to a dozen hundreds in the past 7-8 months but still the 91 he got at Gabba 2021 remains his pinnacle knock.
KL Rahul was supposed to overtake the King!![]()

Let's see what he does at the WTC.
Could argue he's already the best ODI batsmen in the world.What a talent.
What a player.
On track to be the world's best in future.
Why does this sound like you're waiting for him to fail?
Hope it has nothing to do with this

Because that would be silly. That's like trying to reduce Gambhir or Jadeja's cricketing achievements because of their association with the BJP or even Sachin's cricketing stature because he speaks the government's language.

He is already better than any Pakistani batsman playing international cricket. Another Indian batting legend in the making.
Based on what?Could argue he's already the best ODI batsmen in the world.
Based on what?
Wasn’t this Suryakumar supposed to be the next big thing too until he fizzled out?
Gill has amazing temperament and hunger to score runs, but he is yet to be tested abroad. If he does really well against one of the best bowling line-ups in the world starting June 7, then yes he will definitely get his stock up.
SKy didn't fizzle out in T20. He is still no.1 in the world literally and rankingwise. Only in ODIs he failed. Besides his 91 at the Gabba and counter attack against Starc is the reason why India won the test. In Tests starc vs Gill 140 balls 130 runs 0 wicket.
To be the best, you would have to do a lot more than an individual innings of 91. He is a supreme talent, no doubt, but he needs to do more to be called the best ODI batsman in the world.SKy didn't fizzle out in T20. He is still no.1 in the world literally and rankingwise.

Of course SKY fizzled out for people who view cricket with Misbah’s lens
He is a great talent. And that's about it.
He has to prove himself by scoring runs across formats and across different conditions around the world to be considered among the greats.
But i have great hope..And that's because he works hard to improve himself.
He was scoring 400-500 runs in the IPL for last few seasons. But his SR was not great.
He went to work with perhaps the best powerhitter in India and worked with him and his father. Result is that now he scores at a SR of 200.
Now let's see how he adjusts to the test format.
Who's his power hitting coach? Who played a part in his journey of becoming an ATG cricketer?
For a batter, there's nothing like getting praise from a bowler, especially if that bowler is the legendary Wasim Akram. As the Indian cricketing fraternity is going ga-ga over the consistent performances of Shubman Gill, Akram joined the bandwagon in hailing the Indian opening batter for his exemplary form. Though there are those who don't want Gill to be compared with Virat Kohli and Sachin Tendulkar yet, Akram found similarities between the Prince and the God from the perspective of a bowler.
In a chat on Sportskeeda, Akram said that the bowlers who are bowling to Gill at present would get the same feeling he got while bowling to Tendulkar during his active days. Akram feels Gill wouldn't just be a superstar of Indian cricket in the coming days but will be will rule cricketing charts all over the globe.
"When I bowl to a player like Gill, even in T20 format, it's like I am bowling to Sachin Tendulkar in one-day cricket in the first 10 overs, when only two fielders were allowed (outside the 30-yard circle)," said the legendary Pakistani cricketer.
"If I had to bowl to Jayasuriya or Kaluwitharna, I knew I had a chance. I can get them out as they hit on every ball. But, players like Sachin and Gill, they play proper cricketing shots. I think he is the kind of player who can score in all three formats consistently. He is a future superstar of world cricket.

Gill has a long way to go. Too much hype. Too much.
He was hyped way back by almost all players including Kohli with a good reason. Ian Bishop and Simon Doull went gaga over him even in under-19 days. It was only a matter of time. I am surprised he started clicking a little later. Obviously, he looks better than he was 2 years back. He was not a six-hitter like he is now. If a player looks better than he was before then that means progress, that means he works hard. Prithvi Shaw had more hype. But his game is exactly the same as it was 2 or 3 years back.
Let him score a few centuries in SENA and then we can hype him. No?
I think he will struggle in India more given his spin weakness. He should do better overseas. His big challenge will be switching between formats seamlessly. Only Kohli has done it impeccably. That is mostly because he plays pretty much the same way in all formats. Almost everything is ground shot. Another thing is i still don't believe he is an opener. He will server better as a MO batsman. All great batsmen are middle order. Lara/Ponter/Tendulkar/Kohli. Openers can often succumb against new ball from time to time.
Gill plays besides the line..So i will reserve my judgement on his skills to tackle the moving ball.
Actually Yashasvi has a better technique and should open while Gill plays at 3 or 5.
Yes Jaiswal is a proper opener with great leaving technique. Even in under-19 he left the balls well. Batsmen like Gill with new ball threat gone can absolutely dominate the bowling. I have rarely seen Gill leaving the ball. Like all stroke players he likes to feel the ball most of the time.
India's best batsman and possibly a top 3 player in the world is pantGill will be the world’s greatest batsman in years to come. He is already better than Babar, Marnus and everyone else that are part of the new generation after the Fab Four.
But he is not a Test opener. Opening with Gill is no different to opening with Kohli or Babar or Root. It will not bring the best out of them.
India have been forced to open with him because there is no room in the middle-order and he is too good to be sitting on the bench.
In the long-term, he needs to bat at 4 but as long as Kohli is there, they need to find a way to accommodate him at 5.
Gill is a 50+ averaging player, but opening with him means you are restricting his average to 39-40 which is well below his ability.
