Harbhajan Singh admired Gill’s ability to play different types of shots and to pick the right shot for the situation. He also praised Gill’s strong fundamentals and technique, as demonstrated by his straight drives and pull shots.
Former Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar also admired Shubman Gill’s batting ability, stating that he has good ball-reading skills and time to play his shots. Gavaskar also praised Gill’s balance and head position while executing his shots.
Gujarat Titans, the defending champions, have already secured their spot in the top two with nine wins in 13 matches. They will play their final league game against Royal Challengers Bangalore on May 21 at M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.
