Shubman Gill emerged India’s highest run-getter, at the U-19 World Cup triumph at Mount Maunganui, New Zealand in 2018 scoring 372 runs. Now, he aspires to earn the same glory at the senior level as he opens the innings with skipper Rohit Sharma and also often shares the crease with Virat Kohli, who comes in at No. 3.
Kohli is leading the run charts at this World Cup with 711 from 10 games, while Gill, who was struck by dengue at the start of the tournament, has scored 350 runs in eight games.
