There is a certain ethereal elegance to Shubman Gill’s batting that challenges, if not defies, description. He isn’t necessarily a straight-liner, but that hardly detracts from the quality of his stroke-production. And while he is a product of the modern era, he fuses his innovativeness with old-world orthodoxy.
All of Gill’s virtues were on view at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Saturday, the middle day of the final Test. Having bided his time with the team management opting for KL Rahul for the first two Tests, Gill responded with a subliminal second Test century to keep India well in the hunt on another day when wickets were at a premium.
