Former Indian cricketer Yuvraj Singh praised Shubman Gill and the squad for their 2025 Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy performance in England. Indian youth rallied to draw the five-match series 2-2 against Ben Stokes’ powerful England team.
The World Cup winner praised the Fazilka-born for leading from the bat despite being captain. Gill handled the captaincy well and batted well in the five-match series, becoming the highest run scorer, which impressed Yuvraj Singh.
There were several questions about his international record. He captained and scored four Test hundreds. Yuvraj Singh told ICC Digital on the sidelines of the ‘50 Days To Go’ Women’s Cricket World Cup, “It’s unbelievable how you take responsibility.”
Yuvraj Singh special compliments for Jadeja-Sundar
Yuvraj Singh, a famous international all-rounder, praised Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar. The 43-year-old veteran continued by praising the Indians’ fighting spirit without their best players. When spinners have nothing to do in England, Jadeja-Sundar make enough runs with the bat to silence detractors.
I haven’t seen Washington and Jadeja get hundreds and draw a Test match in a long time. It says volumes. Jadeja has been there a while. As a young player joining the squad, Washington Sundar performed amazing things. I thought it was great since sending a young team to England was stressful. Filling the shoes of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma is difficult. It seems the lads took it head-on, he said.
The Oval final saw India win by six runs to tie the five-match series. Gill led both sides in series runs (754 in 10 innings). Gill was captaining his first Test. The way he managed the transitioning team garnered appreciation from all.
