Shubman Gill has become the nation’s toast after his performances in the last few months. The right-hand batter accumulated 890 runs in the Indian Premier League 2023 and won the Orange Cap.
He will face Australian bowlers in the ICC World Test Championship Final at The Oval.
Legendary Australia cricketer Ricky Ponting said Gill would play a key role for India against the Aussie quicks.
“He has a bit of attitude and is a class player. He is a terrific young batter who is full of confidence,” he said.
“His front foot pull shot could trouble the rival bowlers,” he added.
Gill is practising hard in the nets for the upcoming mega-match.
