Although he missed his half-century and was solely the third-highest scorer in India’s innings, Gill confirmed immense maturity in hitting a flurry of boundaries towards Pakistan’s ace, Shaheen Shah Afridi, instantly after he had gotten the wicket of skipper Rohit Sharma.
Gill’s knock additionally shielded Virat Kohli from the swinging ball within the powerplay and the previous India captain capitalised on that with an unbeaten century. India gained the match by six wickets.

“(His) foundations are actually, actually robust and add to that the arrogance of practically two-and-a-half years of performing in one-day cricket. In a single-day cricket, he’s been phenomenal. Now look, the straight drive, the on-drive are the photographs whereby you can’t really hit the ball actually laborious. However right here, he was hitting the ball so laborious that regardless of the mid-off and the mid-on fielder being on that 30-yard circle, the ball was going and hitting them. That’s the sort of timing he possesses,” he added.
Former India opener Navjot Singh Siddhu was additionally all reward for the 25-year-old, saying that he had carried out effectively to develop regardless of being within the shadow of greats like Rohit and Kohli.

“This man has emerged from the shadows of that banyan tree and has come of age. It’s powerful to say that. You fee capacity in males by what they end, not by what they try. While you really take your facet by after scoring 100 and don’t throw your wicket, that duty is making you higher. It’s creating you; it’s not ruining you. So, each duty that he’s shouldered has made him higher. And to me, the perfect factor is, he’s technically so sound that he makes it look really easy,” Sidhu added.
