From the time he was named the Player of the Tournament during India’s victorious campaign at the Under-19 World Cup in early 2018, it was obvious that Shubman Gill was cut out for bigger things. In a class of his own at the junior level, the right-hander impressed not just with his sparkling strokeplay but also his wonderful temperament and game awareness.
It took the Punjab batsman nearly three years to break into the senior team, but he made an instant impact in Australia in December 2020, stacking up scores of 45 and 35 not out (second Test in Melbourne), 50 and 31 (Sydney), and 7 and a magnificent 91 in the final Test in Brisbane, where Rishabh Pant finished off the carnage by helping India become the first overseas side to conquer the Gabbatoir in nearly 35 years.
