GT is one of the sides that has ticked almost all the boxes so far. Their biggest strength is that they don’t rely on the performance of one player but it has been a mixed effort of the entire unit. One of the top performers of the team is their opening batter, Shubman Gill who has been giving good starts consistently.
Former India cricketer Harbhajan Singh has asserted that the Punjab cricketer will serve Indian cricket across all formats for a very long time.

Speaking on Star Sports’ Cricket Live, Harbhajan Singh said, “All eyes will be on Shubman Gill for the next few years. He looks like a perfect timer of the cricket ball. He will play big innings and play for India in multiple formats. Performance for Gujarat Titans in IPL must have given him a lot of self-confidence.”
Meanwhile, former India batter Sanjay Manjrekar also heaped praise on Gill for his way of tackling the spinners.

“When the spinners are in the attack, Shubman Gill stays at the wicket, and that has been good for Gujarat. He reads spinners well and doesn’t take extra risks,” Manjrekar said.
Agreeing to Manjrekar’s comments, Harbhajan also lauded Gill for his mastery against tweakers.
Harbhajan Singh further stated, “Gill is very comfortable against spinners. He is a master of this art. If the spinner forces Gill to come forward and play, then he does not get distracted. He takes his time and plays in his own style.”
