Former India cricketer Yuvraj Singh said that young India batter Shubman Gill has the potential to become the best player of this generation. In the year 2023, Gill made headlines with his willow specially in the 50-over format. He is the highest run scorer in ODIs, scoring a massive 1230 runs from 20 innings with an outstanding average of 72.35, with a strike rate of 105.03.
In the recently passed Asia Cup 2023, Gill had a brilliant run with the bat as he registered his fifth ODI century against Bangladesh. He also became the first batter to make 1000 runs in ODIs in 2023. Add to that, the Punjab-based batter also became the first batsman to get five plus international hundreds in the same year.
While talking to the Week, Yuvraj said that Gill is the most hard-working bloke from his lot. He works four times harder than a normal guy from his childhood days.
“Shubman Gill has the potential to become the best player of this generation. The guy works hard. Since he was 19-20, his attitude has always been like that. He works four times harder than a normal guy since he was a kid. Whatever I have worked with him, he can be the player of this era”.
“He (Gill) scored 91 in a Test match which India won. He scored two fifties as well on his first tour to Australia which I don’t know how many players have done. I am sure he will score runs in Australia, South Africa as well as England,” he added.
The former India left-hander also said that Gill will play a key role in the upcoming World Cup.
“I want him to have a good World Cup, he is right now at a stage where he is fearless. He can be a gamechanger at the World Cup because he can open up the game without any pressure”
