Gujarat Titans upset Rajasthan by three wickets in Jaipur on April 10, ending their winning run. After Rashid Khan excelled with the bat and the ball, the great Sunil Gavaskar praised the all-round player.
“Yeah he didn’t hit the wickets like he usually does, but when he was needed with the bat, he came and delivered,” former India cricketer Sunil Gavaskar said in an exclusive interview with Star Sports on Cricket Live, praising Rashid Khan’s performance last night. It’s for this reason why teams all over the world are vying for him. They see his dedication in his batting, bowling, and fielding, and that’s why they want him. Observe how he throws himself into the fielding process. Sometimes bowlers worry a little too much about diving on their bowling shoulder since their careers could be in jeopardy if they dislocate it.
He just wants to give it his all, not with Rashid Khan.
Ben Stokes is another comparable cricketer who is not participating in this IPL. Ben Stokes always gives it his all when he bats, bowls, or fields the ball. Coaches and captains desire those kind of cricket players; they may not always produce, but you can be sure that the percentage will always be at least 100%.”
Aaron Finch discussed yesterday night’s performance by Rashid Khan. “Mathew Wade turned down a few difficult opportunities, and Rashid Khan also produced a few. It’s not an easy decision to make when he bowls during the powerplay. For a player to score fewer than twenty in a game that saw nearly 400 runs scored is remarkable. We discussed before the game that he might be returning to his peak following surgery, but tonight he truly humbled us all. The best thing is that he merely finished the task at hand, giving it his all every time.”
Regarding Riyan Parag, Sunil Gavaskar expressed his opinion, saying, “From the way he’s been batting, in the eight deliveries he had left, he could have scored 30 to 35 runs more.” In light of it, the Gujarat Titans would have chased 225 rather than 197.”
“There was a lot of pressure on the bowling and the fielding unit as well,” Aaron Finch said in regards to Riyan Parag. “Sanju Samson and Riyan Parag built their innings and then exploded towards the back end.” Thus, it was wonderful to witness a pleasant and strong alliance.”
Regarding Shubman Gill’s batting performance, Sunil Gavaskar said, “As previously mentioned, he was not receiving the kind of support that he would have wanted on the other end. For this reason, I am very impressed with Shubman Gill.” To establish a partnership, you need someone to be there. If you have some sort of relationship early in the innings, it helps alleviate a lot of your concerns.
Not quite. He hasn’t had that. For this reason, I believe he knew he had to stay in the field as much as possible, having learned from the last game where he was attempting to move around and lost his wicket, and then they were unable to chase even 160. He did this until Chahal got him out with an ingenious delivery. He drew it slightly wider, figuring he would come down to the crease. However, what an incredible innings that kid Shubman Gill had.”
Regarding Shubman Gill’s batting, Aaron Finch stated, “I think what impressed me the most today is that he played through the offside. We tend to focus on his seam-bowling prowess and ability to play through mid-wicket, but he was also a terrific off-side player who occasionally gave himself a little leeway. To remain composed even during Kuldeep Sen’s excellent three-wicket burst of wickets, just when things were starting to get a little crazy. Sincerely, I felt that the Gujarat Titans had left too much, too late. However, you have to give yourself a chance, and Shubman Gill did just that. Again, it’s amazing to see him score most of his team’s runs.
