Following his second consecutive century in the ongoing Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy against England, Indian skipper Shubman Gill was hailed by former England cricketer Jonathan Trott as a “world-class player” with a promising future.
Trott emphasised Shubman Gill adeptness at dealing with bowlers like as Chris Woakes and Brydon Carse, pointing out that the young captain has honed particular counterstrategies for each of them.
Trott claims that what distinguishes Shubman Gill from other players is his capacity for adaptation and planning.
“Carse is a little faster than Chris Woakes, but Shubman Gill ability to counter both is impressive.” He is aware that Woakes will attempt to assault the stumps, so Shubman Gill prepared a technique to deal with that without using excessive speed. It was not a last-minute idea; rather, it was well-thought-out. On JioHotstar, Trott stated, “This is what separates good players from average ones — and world-class players from the rest.”
It’s amazing to have the self-assurance to carry out a strategy that isn’t exactly standard but offers you an advantage over the competition. That makes a big difference as captain, not only for the people in the middle but also for the people on the team balcony. His body language and the manner in which he scored his runs were also noteworthy, he continued.
Trott went on to say that the rest of the Indian side benefits greatly from Shubman Gill calm demeanour and assurance at the wicket.
His dominance against the English bowlers conveyed to the team that he was taking the initiative and leading from the front. “I’ll be there, I won’t be out, and I’ll resume tomorrow,” was his obvious message. I’ll see to it that we move into a position of victory. A world-class talent with a promising future, very outstanding from such a young man,” Trott said.
Regarding the game, India finished Day 1 at 310 for 5, with Ravindra Jadeja at the crease at 41 and Gill undefeated at 114.
