Shubman Gill: India's Newest Cricketing Sensation

Shubman Gill is the name on everyone's lips in Indian cricketing circles. The 22-year-old from Punjab has taken the cricketing world by storm with his impressive performances in both domestic and international cricket.


Gill burst onto the scene in the 2018 U-19 Cricket World Cup, where he was named the Player of the Tournament. He scored 372 runs in the tournament at an average of 124, including a match-winning knock of 102 in the final against Australia.

Since then, Gill has gone from strength to strength. He made his first-class debut for Punjab in 2017 and has since scored 2,882 runs in 47 matches at an average of 69.09. His highest score of 268* came against Tamil Nadu in the 2019-20 Ranji Trophy.

In 2019, Gill was called up to the Indian national team for the tour of New Zealand. He made his debut in the second Test of the series and showed his class with a composed 65 in the second innings, which helped India salvage a draw.

Shubman Gill is the latest prodigy of India's familial batting production line. He shot to fame with 418 runs at an average of 104.50 in the 2018 ICC U19 World Cup, where he served as Prithvi Shaw's deputy and batted at No. 3 to play a crucial role in India's record fourth world title. Also the edition's Player of the Tournament, Gill was a favourite in the 2018 IPL auctions and was picked by Kolkata Knight Riders for INR 1.8 crore (USD 280,000).


Gill's performances have been so impressive that he was chosen ahead of the experienced Prithvi Shaw to open the batting with Rohit Sharma in the Test series against Australia in 2020-21. Despite being a relative newcomer to Test cricket, Gill showed no signs of nerves and batted with poise and maturity in the high-pressure environment of an away series against one of the best bowling attacks in the world.

In his debut Test match in Australia, Gill scored 45 and 35* to help India chase down a target of 70 in the fourth innings. In the next match, he scored a sublime 91 in the first innings, which set the foundation for India's famous victory at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Gill's performances were instrumental in India winning the series 2-1, and he finished as India's second-highest run-scorer with 259 runs in three matches.

Gill's performances have drawn comparisons with former Indian opener Virender Sehwag, and many experts believe that he has the potential to become one of India's greatest batsmen. He is a stylish batsman who is equally comfortable playing both pace and spin, and his technique and temperament are beyond his years.

With the Indian team set to play several important Test series in the coming months, including against England and South Africa, Gill's performances will be crucial to India's success. All eyes will be on this young and talented cricketer, and cricket fans around the world will be eagerly watching his progress.
