He is the next superstar to replace Virat; Young player with Kohli’s record
Indian cricket has always had superstar players. Sunil Gavaskar and Kapil Dev were the superstars of the early days. But after them came Sachin Tendulkar. Ganguly, Dravid and Sehwag were with Sachin when he became an all-time superstar.
Virat Kohli is India’s biggest superstar in modern day cricket. There are few batting records in cricket that he has not held. He is also India’s biggest brand in this formout era.
But superstars can change. Only if there are superstars every time, this game will not become obsolete. If you look at it like that, there are superstars for the next generation in the Indian ranks.
Rishabh Pant, K.L. Rahul and are competing for the next super status. But the opening batsman Shubman Gill is the player who is very hyped since he started playing. His batting style and technique are always debated among analysts.
He was hailed as the next Virat and Sachin Tendulkar. Gill has now equaled Virat’s record with the first ODI half-century of his career. The player scored a half-century in the first match of the West Indies tour. The player scored 63 runs off 53 balls directly. He left the crease as a run-out.
With this, Gill became the youngest Indian player to score a fifty on Caribbean soil. The actor shared this record with Virat. Both achieved that record at the age of 22.
Gill’s innings had six fours and two sixes.
Meanwhile, India won by three runs against West Indies. Skipper Shikhar Dhawan scored 97 runs and Shreyas Iyer scored 54 runs along with Gill. India got 308 runs.
Batting in reply, Windies managed to score only 305 runs in 50 overs.
