In a very short span, Shubman Gill has shown that he is a superstar in the making. Just 23 years old, he boasts of an impeccable record in all three formats of the game. He is the youngest batsman to score a double century in ODIs, has the highest score (126*) by an Indian in T20Is and has now added a second Test century (128) to his CV, his first on home soil.
Not a cake-walk
Despite an abundance of talent, It has not been easy for him to walk into the team. Take the ongoing Test series against Australia as an example. Gill had shown tremendous form in white-ball cricket. Everybody thought he would be in the playing XI right from the start. But KL Rahul was backed for the first two Tests and it was only after he failed in both Nagpur and Delhi that Gill got a chance to open with captain Rohit Sharma at Indore.
