[VIDEOS] Shubman Gill - Future Indian batting star

[Itachi]

Looks like dravid is the main key factor of the development of young indian batsman. BCCI made one good decision in this case.

Just a question. Who can perform the same role for pakistan? Pakistani players gloats a lot about their achievement and in turn, it does alienate them.

 

[introvert]

No doubt about that , Gill oozes class.

Younis Khan is as skilled as the wall. But the difference is the personalities.

 

[Loralai]

Another hundred today for India A against SL A. What an excellent player this guy is. Looking forward to see him playing at the top level.

 

[Bhaijaan]

A new generation of players will take over or team spots World Cup.

The GPS will navigate India to glory!

After this world cup ideal to replace middle order with these 3.

Middle order is weak, you can't rely on Sharma scoring century all the time.

 

[Saj]

I think India maybe missed a trick by not including this lad in the World Cup squad. He couldn't have done any worse than Karthik.

 

[rhony]

I think India maybe missed a trick by not including this lad in the World Cup squad. He couldn't have done any worse than Karthik.

I think they had a look in the NZ series and he failed to capitalize. They were desperate to fill that No.4 slot and even he was under consideration.

2 innings are enough to judge him?

 

[rhony]

2 innings are enough to judge him?

Just enough to look for another option for no.4 for the WC. There weren't many games left after NZ series to pick the WC squad. Also it's not about the runs you make. It's about how you do. Tbh, Gill didn't look good technically. Hope he gets better as he's a good talent.

No. He was a bit nervous making debut. Pretty much every commies and other cricketers who have seen him consider him as a special. He is technically a very good player. If you look at in isolation neither Rohit nor Dhawan were good too. What about Kohli in the semi, CT final. Playing right across the line each time and getting out.

 

[kingusama92]

I think India maybe missed a trick by not including this lad in the World Cup squad. He couldn't have done any worse than Karthik.

I agree.

The guy is a top-tier prospect and it's only a matter of time.

 

[Mueez]

I remember him and Pant taking on Shaheen Shah Afridi in the U-19 WC.

Wonder why India didn’t take Gill along.

 

[MP2011]

Wonder why India didn’t take Gill along.

Because Kohli-Shastri are accountable to none.

 

[ak619]

I remember him and Pant taking on Shaheen Shah Afridi in the U-19 WC.

Wonder why India didn’t take Gill along.

Pant is not from the 2018 batch. He is from the 2016 batch.

 

[Roaring40s]

I have a feeling this bunch of selectors think only middle order batsmen can do well in middle order.

What happens is most of these probables (Shaw, Agarwal, Gill etc) are their teams best batsmen when playing for Under 19s, A and emerging teams.

And as is the tendency these days, every team plays its top batsmen in top 3. These people end up either opening or coming at 3.

Most domestic teams have experienced/ washed out guys at numbers 4 or 5 to protect from any collapse.

Age group teams fill these spots with sedate accumulators for this reason only.

Numbers 6, 7 are normally allrounder/wicket keeper slots.

I think only this can explain pathetic picks from selectors like Rayudu, Shankar and Karthik.

Kohli and Rohit don't bowl anymore. Dhawan's action is banned. This means Jadhav, who wouldn't have found a spot in the weak 90s Indian team (because everybody bowled in that team) is considered important.

 

[Mueez]

Pant is not from the 2018 batch. He is from the 2016 batch.

Oh yeah sorry about that.

I think it was Shaw if I remember it correctly.

 

[Sami92]

India should start picking guys like Gill, Iyer, Saini, Shaw, Khaleel in ODI side.

 

[spiderreddy]

Gill opened the batting and scored a couple of 70s in unofficial ODIs against Windies A. He and Rituraj gaekwad looked good.

 

[shah_1]

India should start picking guys like Gill, Iyer, Saini, Shaw, Khaleel in ODI side.

I think Bhumrah and Shami will be given rest for test championship.

 

[JaDed]

I remember him and Pant taking on Shaheen Shah Afridi in the U-19 WC.

Wonder why India didn’t take Gill along.

U r thinking of prithvi Shaw, Pant was prior to that

 

[troodon]

India should start picking guys like Gill, Iyer, Saini, Shaw, Khaleel in ODI side.

Khaleel and Saini are duds. Both are Gun barrel straight. I would trust Avesh Khan over these two.

Gill, Shaw, Nitish Rana, Mavi, Riyan Parag, Iyer, Nagarkoti, Markande... should all get a chance in the next 2 years.

 

[Mueez]

Oh yeah sorry about that.

I think it was Shaw if I remember it correctly.

I think Bhumrah and Shami will be given rest for test championship.

Yeah I was wrong it was Prithvi Shaw who took on SSA.

 

[Hasan123]

He will get his chance.

U missed Kapataan "Cool".He is not going anywhere

 

[jnaveen1980]

His pull shots are imperious. Love watching him bat.

 

[Dingolfy]

His pull shots are imperious. Love watching him bat.

Yes, I watched him today against the West Indies-A and he was really blasting them out of the park. They should have included him in place of Jadhav.

 

[Mean&Green]

Is way too aggressive wants to play shots all the time wants to have swagger while having class and being consistent but all that requires temperament and time which he is not willing to put in at the moment hence he’s not being selected but he’s also being spoiled cause of the IPL

 

[The Viper]

Should have been selected vs the Windies. It was the perfect series to blood him. There was no need for Kedhar.

 

[MP2011]

That's due to clowns being clowns.

So you know it that he isn't putting in the effort? You spying on him?

 

[jagatk]

nope. saini is very good. so is porel.

If he is so good, why is his average so high?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Dominating double hundred in 245 balls from a situation of 23/3 and 49/4. SCored a 100 before lunch.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Youngest to score a first-class double century for an Indian representative team:

19 years 334 days - SHUBMAN GILL, Today (India A vs West Indies A)

20 years 124 days - Gautam Gambhir, 2002 (Indian BP's XI vs Zimbabweans)#WIAvINDA

But Kedar Jadhav is better.

 

[spiderreddy]

He should have been in test squad instead of Rohit and in ODI squad instead of kedar

 

[MP2011]

He should have been in test squad instead of Rohit and in ODI squad instead of kedar

These 2 Kohli & Shastri are so bloody clueless that it beggars belief these 2 occupy 2 of the highest positions in Indian cricket. And that after such a disaster of just finished WC campaign. No, reaching semis wasn't an achievement as Kohli would like us to believe.

God save Indian cricket from these imbeciles.

 

[MP2011]

I wonder what's the point of Kedar in Indian team.

His batting as has been proved in the highest form of ODI cricket, is useless. His fielding & fitness, less said better it is.

His bowling is cannon fodder. Or does he have compromising pics of Shastri & Kohli?

My blood boils not to see this kid in Indian team in all formats and instead seeing nobodies like Rahul, Kedar etc.

Even Rohit & Dhawan are additional to our current requirements in WI. They (and more importantly India) won't gain anything out of this trip if they continue to behave like leeches.

We've already seen how badly has this move of backing just these 2 for openers have hurt us in WC just gone by.

 

[kingusama92]

He's average 75.26 in FC cricket.

While it's surprising India is keeping him out of the squad, it's only a matter of time.

 

[Pakhs]

Gil looks like a solid batsman - but he is not the next wonder on earth.

 

[Ram Shekhar]

Gil looks like a solid batsman - but he is not the next wonder on earth.

One more hype but no substance player from India. I don't think he's an answer to our problems.

 

[Pakhs]

One more hype but no substance player from India. I don't think he's an answer to our problems.

He should be given chances though and see how he goes. He is better than pant at number 4 though.

 

[cricketjoshila]

One more hype but no substance player from India. I don't think he's an answer to our problems.

He is answer to India's batting problems.

[MENTION=132605]battler[/MENTION]
[MENTION=139758]pillionrider[/MENTION]
[MENTION=133315]Hitman[/MENTION]

Both him and Shaw. I have high expectations from both of them.

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Maybe the idea is to give him a home series to start with, that will probably increase his confidence.

 

[Ab Fan]

He will get the chance.His batting position will always be in top 4.

So,his competitor is Rahul and Iyer, not Kedhar. But personally, they gotta move from Kedar. You backed him for years, then dont back him in WC matches at all, and now you again on to it..What kind of non-sense going is it?

India should keep these names in reckoning for squad from now on:-

Batsmen:-

Rohit
Dhawan
kohli
Rahul
Gill
Iyer
Pant

ALL-Rounders:-

Krunal
Hardik
Jadeja

Bowlers:-

Bhuvi
Shami
Khaleel
Kuldeep
Chahal
Bumrah

So, move on from Karthik, kedhar, Shankar and Manish Pandey as well.

 

[Ram Shekhar]

He is answer to India's batting problems.

[MENTION=132605]battler[/MENTION]
[MENTION=139758]pillionrider[/MENTION]
[MENTION=133315]Hitman[/MENTION]

I saw his batting, does not inspire a whole lot of confidence. I also think Shreyas Iyer and Manish Pandey are ahead of him and will be given opportunities. There are other batsmen in first class who are better than this guy I feel.

He is our future super star. ONly thing that can stop him is himself.

 

[Realromeo]

Unlike overhyped Chand, Zol and Samson... Gill is actually impressive. Also he looks kinda like a female so I don't mind watching him.

 

[battler]

He is answer to India's batting problems.

[MENTION=132605]battler[/MENTION]
[MENTION=139758]pillionrider[/MENTION]
[MENTION=133315]Hitman[/MENTION]

He is better than Shaw and will be the mainstay of our batting in the near future. Although what really concerns me is India is yet to find a replacement for Yuvraj/Raina. We need Yuvi Raina type players in the middle order who at their peak could play patiently but explode when needed.

We have rishabh pant. Shivam dubey is also a good contender.

 

[Ab Fan]

In future, it will be:-

Rohit
Shaw
Kohli
Gill
Pant
--------
Pandya
Shami
Chahal
Kuldeep
Bumrah

So,one empty slot.

they have dube who is a gem. Future superstar.
gaikwad waiting to replace dhawan
panchal waiting to replace rohit or even eeshwaran.

batting of india is formidable as always.

but yes watch out for dube. Serious potential.

 

[tyron_woodley]

you guys are concentrating on gill but you forget India's best player. I.e dube.

 

[The Viper]

If Rahane fails again, Gill should be in for him.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

He is answer to India's batting problems.

[MENTION=132605]battler[/MENTION]
[MENTION=139758]pillionrider[/MENTION]
[MENTION=133315]Hitman[/MENTION]

Him and Shaw.

 

[BalluBalleBaaz]

In future, it will be:-

Rohit
Shaw
Kohli
Gill
Pant
--------
Pandya
Shami
Chahal
Kuldeep
Bumrah

So,one empty slot.

A batting allrounder?

 

[jagatk]

I saw his batting, does not inspire a whole lot of confidence. I also think Shreyas Iyer and Manish Pandey are ahead of him and will be given opportunities. There are other batsmen in first class who are better than this guy I feel.

You need a visit to an optometrist, its your vision rather than his batting that is the problem.

 

[pillionrider]

He is answer to India's batting problems.

[MENTION=132605]battler[/MENTION]
[MENTION=139758]pillionrider[/MENTION]
[MENTION=133315]Hitman[/MENTION]

Don't think he is a Kohli as some people have tried to suggest, but he is very good based on U19 WC stuff. But does it really matter what we all think. The way selections have been happening, think I'm reaching the point of not caring anymore.

 

[spiderreddy]

Gill has first-class avg of 83.31 at S/R of 76.38
He should be India's No.5 ahead of Rahane/Vihari/Rohit

 

[MP2011]

Gill has first-class avg of 83.31 at S/R of 76.38
He should be India's No.5 ahead of Rahane/Vihari/Rohit

Rahane is pathetic for at least 2 years now, except for a few decent innings. WI tests should be his LAST chance, whether he is Kohli's deputy, doesn't matter.

Vihari - Is still new, should get more chances.

Rohit - Should never be part of any test team.

Agreed. But under circumstances Rohit may not be dropped.

 

[JattMaula]

Gill and Gaikwad are batting for India A against strong South Africa A. It is being telecast. Gaikwad is a very promising youngster too.

 

[tyron_woodley]

I saw his batting, does not inspire a whole lot of confidence. I also think Shreyas Iyer and Manish Pandey are ahead of him and will be given opportunities. There are other batsmen in first class who are better than this guy I feel.

that's the problem. Don't think because everytime you attempt to think you embarrass yourself. Just stay put and think to yourself. You will feel better.

 

[Ram Shekhar]

that's the problem. Don't think because everytime you attempt to think you embarrass yourself. Just stay put and think to yourself. You will feel better.

What are you even trying to say?

 

[JaDed]

What are you even trying to say?

That when you think out loud you embarrass yourself..

 

[jnaveen1980]

It is a matter of time. Even Kohli can't suppress him for far too long.

 

[Ram Shekhar]

That when you think out loud you embarrass yourself..

What is the matter with you [MENTION=137142]JaDed[/MENTION]? This is an open forum. Anyone can have any opinions. I think Gill is just a hype. If you disagree just leave it, don't get personal.

 

[Sir-fraz]

regardless of hype, hes been killing it in the domestic scene and should get a chance in the middle order. shouldve been selected for WI series

 

[JaDed]

What is the matter with you [MENTION=137142]JaDed[/MENTION]? This is an open forum. Anyone can have any opinions. I think Gill is just a hype. If you disagree just leave it, don't get personal.

I just replied to your question as to what the poster meant..do i agree with it yeah probably..

 

[tyron_woodley]

I have a theory. gill is already better than kohli. gill is seriously the best prospect india has had in a while. Kohli is doing everything he can to permanently bench him because Gill will take his spot eventually. Only a matter of time before gill starts at number 5.

 

[Mujtaba2900]

Gill is next root Not Kohli
And.even matching root at international level wont be As easy as you guys are thinking

 

[jagatk]

What is the matter with you [MENTION=137142]JaDed[/MENTION]? This is an open forum. Anyone can have any opinions. I think Gill is just a hype. If you disagree just leave it, don't get personal.

It being an open forum doesn't mean your opinion cannot be questioned, you have to back up your opinion with actual facts. Gill's first class and list A records combined with how he is playing for India A seem to be pointing that he is more than hype. All you have is I have seen him and I feel like he is hype, that is a nothing opinion, learn to defend your opinion rather than whining about getting called out on them.

 

[MenInG]

20-year old batsman Shubman Gill has been selected in India’s 15-man squad for their upcoming three-Test series against South Africa. Opener KL Rahul has been left out.

Gill averages a mightily impressive 72.15 in first-class cricket and recently captained the India A side to a seven wicket victory over South Africa A in Thiruvananthapuram. Just 20, Gill was one of the stars in India's ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup triumph in New Zealand last year, averaging 124 through the competition.

Gill comes into the India squad at the expense of KL Rahul, who opened on India's recent tour of West Indies. Rahul failed to pass 50 in any of his four innings in the series.

The series is set to start on October 2nd in Visakhapatnam with the two subsequent Tests to be played in Pune and Ranchi.

India squad: Virat Kohli (c), Mayank Agarwal, Rohit Sharma, Cheteshwar Pujara, Ajinkya Rahane, Hanuma Vihari, Shubman Gill, Rishabh Pant, Wriddhiman Saha, Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Shami, Jasprit Bumrah, Ishant Sharma

[Ramsay]

KL Rahul - Finally, Good Riddance!

 

[Ram Shekhar]

Disastrous. This guy is a T20 hack and a bad one at that. How is he even considered for test matches?
