A Lot Of People Told Shubman Gill Is Probably The Most Promising Of All Youngsters - Sunil Gavaskar

Former Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar felt that up-and-coming youngster, Shubman Gill, was touted as the most promising youngster by many of his cricketing friends.

Gill has debuted for India in Tests and he also played a huge role in India’s famous win at the Gabba. He scored 91 at the top and set the platform up for the team following which, they were able to chase down the target on Day 5.

“Shubman Gill has been somebody I had heard a lot about, particularly after the Under-19 World Cup in New Zealand. A lot of people who played a lot of Test cricket came to me and said look he is probably the most promising of all youngsters,” Gavaskar said in the documentary ‘Down Underdogs’, premiering on the Sony Sports Network.

“We all are changing our views and opinions about Rishabh Pant every other day” – Sunil Gavaskar

Gavaskar also felt that Rishabh Pant is blowing hot and cold and people tend to change their opinion of him with every passing innings. Pant showed his tremendous ability in the second ODI against South Africa but immediately erred in the very next ODI.

“We all know what he is capable of. We all are changing our views and opinions about him every other day. One day he plays a blinder of an innings, the next day he plays a shot which makes you wonder.”

“But somewhere down the line, my feeling is that Rahul Dravid will sit him down and tell him what a marvellous talent he is. And all that he needs to do is to give himself a little bit of time in the middle like he did in Australia,” Gavaskar added.

Pant has another opportunity to show his talent when West Indies comes visiting for a white-ball series.
