‘Batted like Bradman’ – Ravi Shastri hails Shubman Gill’s Edgbaston heroics

Former cricket player Ravi Shastri has lavished praise on India captain and star batsman Shubman Gill for his outstanding effort against England in the second Test of the current series at Edbaston. Gill’s crucial runs in both innings helped India win the Test match and tie the series 1-1 against the Three Lions, according to Shastri, who likened Gill’s batting to that of the great Sir Donald Bradman.

Ravi Shastri thinks the India captain’s 269 and 161 were crucial because they allowed him to show off his skills in front of the world and then bowl England out as captain. In addition, he praised Gill for selecting players like Akash Deep in Jasprit Bumrah’s absence, who he believes might be causing problems for several English hitters as the series progresses.

“A captain’s best, ten out of ten.” There is nothing more you could expect of a captain. In the series, you are behind. You bat like Bradman when you get out there. You win the game if you score 269 and 161, Ravi Shastri stated on Sky Sports Cricket.

“In the first test match, your captaincy was Ravi Shastri reactive.

You nearly followed the ball. In the upcoming game, you take the initiative. After India’s victory in the second Test in Birmingham, Shastri continued, “You may have just discovered the best seamer for English conditions in this Indian lineup by selecting Akash Deep, who will trouble England as this series progresses.”

India’s best batter thus far in the series has been Gill, without a question. In the first innings of the first Test, he scored 147, but his team lost by five wickets on the last day. He became the first hitter to score 200 or more and 150 or more in the same match, though, and returned stronger to secure a game-winning knock in the second Test.

He will now be guiding his team into the third Test, which will start at Lord’s, a historic location, on July 10. This will be Gill’s first game at the site as captain, and he wants to make it special by winning the match and earning a spot on the Honours Board by scoring another triple-digit score to add to his series total.
