IND vs BAN: "Shubman Gill Destined For Greatness, Strong Contender To Open Batting For India In World Cup"- Yuvraj Singh

Indian Cricket Team suffered a humiliating defeat against Bangladesh in the 1st ODI. The Men in Blue looked a bit off-color as the team was bundled out for 186 runs in 41.2 overs. The batters weren’t able to adjust to the sluggish track and to the conditions where spinners dominated the terms.

Bangladesh won’t be able to believe that they snatched victory from the jaws of defeat. Bangladesh chased down 51 runs with only 1 wicket in hand. Mehidy Hasan showed great character and was quite aggressive in its approach as the all-rounder scored 38 runs in 39 balls where he smashed 4 fours and 2 sixes.

Yuvraj Singh On Shubman Gill

Yuvraj Singh was having an interaction with the media persons on the sidelines of the inauguration of the T20 World Cup for the visually impaired and was asked about Shubman Gill. “I think Shubman is doing very well and is performing consistently. I believe he is a strong contender to open for India in the 2023 World Cup. Shubman is very hardworking and is doing all the right things. I believe he is destined for greatness in the next 10 years.” said Yuvraj Singh.

Conundrum for Management

There’s no doubt that Shubman Gill is in the form of his life, but it looks unlikely that he would make the cut for World Cup as there is cut-throat competition for the spots. There is uncertainty regarding KL Rahul’s batting position as there is stiff competition in the middle order and it is also assumed that he would be the back-up opener.

With a lot of ODI series aligned next, it would be interesting to see India plays with a full fledged squad especially against Sri Lanka who are due to tour in January 2023. Skipper Rohit Sharma had said in a press conference that it’s unlikely that every-time the team would play with their best line-up. It would be interesting to see what would be the strategy for the next selection panel.
