In relation to Shubman Gill, he has scored 147 runs in his two Champions Trophy games, making him the leading run scorer for India at the moment. Before being removed by a jaffa from Abrar Ahmed, he amassed an undefeated century against Bangladesh and a beautiful 46 against Pakistan.
The Indian squad has advanced to the semi-finals of the Champions Trophy 2025 after putting on outstanding performances in the first two games. The fact that the top three have so far performed well and have at last found some form will please Indian fans.
Although there were many doubts about the form of captain Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, their two games together have included pivotal performances, such as hundreds from Shubman Gill and Kohli. With the bat, Rohit has also made some fast starts.
Given that both legends are nearing the conclusion of their careers, it is unclear who would assume the role of captain in international cricket after their retirement. After these two legends retire, former Indian cricket player Navjot Singh Sidhu expressed his opinions on who would be the ideal batter to take over Indian cricket.
“Look, see, nothing grows under a banyan tree, and Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are essentially the banyan tree of Indian cricket.
It’s amazing,” Navjot stated on JioHotstar, “but when you look at Shubman Gill, those two consecutive drives, even the scorching cover drive, this is like a blitzkrieg where the opponent is taken aback.
“This man has matured and come out of that banyan tree’s shadow. That’s difficult to say. Men’s ability is measured by their accomplishments rather than their attempts. He went on to say, “That responsibility is making you better when you actually carry your team through after scoring a hundred and don’t throw your wicket.”
