England U19's v India U19's - 4th ODI
Gill was India's leading run scorer in the U19 WC

Shubman Gill is a name etched in the heart of every Indian cricket fan who followed the recent U-19 World Cup. The top order batsman played an integral role in India's success by adding runs at an average of more than 100. He will play for the Knight Riders in this year's IPL.

The flamboyant batsman will get enough opportunities in a seemingly weak KKR team, with a limited number of batsmen in their ranks. With the presence of many top order players, Gill might have to bat in the middle order. The right-hander will take his opportunity wherever and whenever it comes.

After a stupendous run in the U19 World Cup, the 18-year old will look to replicate the success in the IPL.
