Suresh Raina's stunning remarks on Shubman Gill ahead of the World Cup
India are all geared up to launch their ODI World 2023 campaign with the enormous amount of intensity and enthusiasm after having roared in the Asia Cup 2023 with their resounding title victory. World Cup will be played in India as India are the host of this edition of the World Cup. India’s young and rising star Shubman Gill will be the batter on whom all eyes will be set. India are brimmed with the incredible batting line up with the presence of Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul. However, former Indian superstar Suresh Raina has showered praises on Gill by expressing that he will be one of the most important players at the World Cup.
Shubman Gill has been in supreme form across all formats of the game this year so far. Gill exhibited his batting prowess in the recently-wrapped up Asia Cup where Gill was the top run-scorer with two half-centuries and a century. Raina said that Gill has the potential to repeat what Rohit Sharma did in 2019.
He’ll be one of the most important players at the World Cup. I know that he wants to be a superstar and wants to be the next Virat Kohli and is in that aura already and after this World Cup, we will be talking about him more often. The form he’s playing in with his hand speed - it’s extremely strong. Spinners don’t know where to bowl to him and if fast bowlers don’t swing the ball, he can play those really well with a straight or a flick,” Suresh Raina said on Jio Cinema.
“His mindset will not stop here. What Rohit Sharma did in the 2019 World Cup; Gill could do the same for India this year. He’ll get 50 overs to bat, so it’s a takeoff point for his batting. I think he’s a born leader and he shows that in his game.”
