Shubman Gill

Gill's innings against Pakistan team was extra special

Shubman Gill is an Indian middle-order batsman who was in red-hot form in the Under-19 World Cup this year. He displayed enormous potential in the tournament and it would be only fair to call him the find of U-19 WC.

The Punjab boy scored 372 runs in five matches at a phenomenal average of 124. Gill's performances in the tournament were noticed by a number of IPL sides and he was picked up by Kolkata Knight Riders in the 2018 Auction for a huge price of Rs 1.8 crore.

Gill has the ability to play both the aggressive game as well as the waiting game. He is a bright prospect for the Indian team and it would be interesting to see how he performs in the IPL this year.
