For a batter, there’s nothing like getting reward from a bowler, particularly if that bowler is the legendary Wasim Akram. As the Indian cricketing fraternity goes ga-ga over the constant performances of Shubman Gill, Akram joined the bandwagon in hailing the Indian opening batter for his exemplary kind. Though there are those that don’t desire Gill to be in contrast with Virat Kohli and Sachin Tendulkar but, Akram discovered similarities between the Prince and the God from the attitude of a bowler.

In a chat on Sportskeeda, Akram mentioned that the bowlers who’re bowling to Gill at current would get the identical feeling he obtained whereas bowling to Tendulkar throughout his energetic days. Akram feels Gill would not simply be a famous person of Indian cricket within the coming days however will probably be will rule cricketing charts everywhere in the globe.

“When I bowl to a player like Gill, even in T20 format, it’s like I am bowling to Sachin Tendulkar in one-day cricket in the first 10 overs, when only two fielders were allowed (outside the 30-yard circle),” mentioned the legendary Pakistani cricketer.

“If I had to bowl to Jayasuriya or Kaluwitharna, I knew I had a chance. I can get them out as they hit on every ball. But, players like Sachin and Gill, they play proper cricketing shots. I think he is the kind of player who can score in all three formats consistently. He is a future superstar of world cricket.

After leaving a lasting impression in the shortest format of the game, for Gujarat Titans in the IPL 2023, Gill would need to quickly shift focus to Test cricket, in the World Test Championship final against Australia.

With KL Rahul out, Gill is certain to open alongside skipper Rohit Sharma. The conditions at the Oval, however, will be tricky for the batter. It’s all about how quickly he adapts.
