Good Thing That Everyone Is Performing: Shubman Gill
The competition for the openers’ slots has intensified following India’s T20I series win in Zimbabwe and for contender Shubman Gill, that can only be a “good thing”.
Gill, who is expected to open alongside Yashasvi Jaiswal in the three T20Is in Sri Lanka later this month, was the leading run getter in the five-match series in Harare. He was not part of the T20 World Cup squad in the USA and the Caribbean.
“It’s a good thing that everyone’s performing. It shows that everyone is hungry and nobody is ready to take it easy. For any country or board, that’s always a good thing,” said Gill on Sunday referring to the openers. (PTI)
