Wasim Akram who is counted among the best bowlers of the world compares Shubman Gill to Sachin Tendulkar, saying bowling to Gill is like bowling to Sachin…
The young Indian cricketer Shubman Gill is currently in a great form as he ended the IPL 2023 with 890 runs (including three centuries). He was the highest run scorer of the tournament and a lot is being expected from him in the final of the World Test Championship which India will play against Australia from 7 June 2023 at the Oval, London.
Shubman Gill is already regarded as the next big thing at the international level as he has smashed centuries in all the 3 formats and has also scored a double hundred in ODIs.
Recently, the former Pakistani great Wasim Akram praised Shubman Gill and compared him to the legendary former Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar. Akram stated, “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).”
he former Pakistani cricketer Salman Butt also reacted on this matter and while speaking on his YouTube channel, he said, “Wasim bhai has said that bowling to Gill is like bowling to Tendulkar. I think everyone has their own way of showering praises. Lot of big [former] cricketers compare youngsters with legendary players from a previous era because they can relate to it.”
Salman Butt further added, “These are deserving comments for him. A proud moment for Gill that Wasim Akram, regarded as one of the world’s best bowlers, has said this. He has earned it. His batting has been outstanding in the last few months. He has been on top of his game and he is looking as the standout batter in the game at present.”
Great moment for Shubman Gill!!!!
