Shubman Gill With his consecutive record-breaking performances and outstanding form, Gill has cemented himself as the Indian cricket team’s opener. He is being hailed as the game’s rising star by renowned former cricket players and enthusiasts. Wearing the famous jersey number 77, Gill has a fascinating story about how he got this particular number when he first started playing cricket professionally.
Gill is a cricket phenomenon who needs no introduction. With his quick early success, he is one of the most well-known rising stars in Indian cricket. Right now, he is the second-most prestigious batsman in the ODI rankings. He recently revealed the reasoning for his decision to wear jersey number 77 rather than his traditional lucky 7.
“I wanted to wear jersey number 7 when I competed in the under-19 World Cup, but I chose jersey number 77. I took two 7s because it wasn’t available at the time,” Gill remarked, according an ESPN Cricinfo quote.
Shubman Gill disclosed his childhood hero and current favorite cricket player.
When asked which cricketer he was currently rooting for, Shubman instantly said, “Virat Bhai.” Crucial partnerships in the middle have been forged time and time again by Gill and Virat Kohli. His forceful strokeplay enhances Virat’s ability to anchor. After expressing his respect for the Punjab batter, Kohli had earlier said, “He is a lovely kid, and I am eager to contribute to his growth.”
In response to a question about his childhood cricket inspiration, the 24-year-old mentioned the renowned Sachin Tendulkar. Gill received a ton of praise from Sachin after his brilliant performance in the most recent IPL. The Little Master took to Twitter to share his profound respect, saying that Gill’s voracious desire for runs had really impressed him.
This season, Shubman Gill has given a truly remarkable performance, highlighted by two centuries that will never be forgotten. @mipaltan’s hopes were stoked by one century, but they were crushed by the other. That’s the way it is with cricket: never predictable! Tendulkar had observed, “Shubman’s exceptional temperament, unwavering calmness, hunger for runs, and astute running between the wickets were what truly impressed me about his batting.”
