Former Pakistan captain Wasim Akram believes that bowlers facing Shubman Gill will experience the same challenge he encountered when bowling to Sachin Tendulkar.
With his impressive performances, including centuries across all formats and a double hundred in ODIs, Gill has quickly emerged as a future superstar in world cricket.
“When I bowl to a player like Gill, even in T20 format, it’s like I am bowling to Sachin Tendulkar in one-day cricket in the first 10 overs, when only two fielders were allowed (outside the 30-yard circle),” Wasim Akram as quoted by NDTV.
“If I had to bowl to Jayasuriya or Kaluwitharna, I knew I had a chance. I can get them out as they hit on every ball. But, players like Sachin and Gill, they play proper cricketing shots. I think he is the kind of player who can score in all three formats consistently. He is a future superstar of world cricket.”
