Former Australia spinner Brad Hogg is one of those who have been impressed by the batting of India's young talent Shubman Gill as he believes Gill has to the potential to become one the best openers in Test cricket, in the next 10 years. His calm demeanour and batting technique has impressed each and every fan and cricket experts as well. Moreover, in his debut Test series, the 21-year-old scored 259 runs in three matches, that also included a match-winning 91 at Brisbane.
"He (Shubman Gill) has got all the shots in the book. The thing that impressed me here in Australia was that when the Australians tested him with the short ball, he was prepared to take on the hook shot. He is going to be a little bit of a legend and he is going to be one of the best openers that the world sees over the next ten years in Test cricket," Brad Hogg said on his YouTube channel.
However, the veteran spinner has opened up on a batting glitch of the youngster.
"He tends to play away from his body. Of course, he continues to play away from his body, he is going to come up short and he is going to feed those slips and he is going to find a little bit of trouble. If he can't get back and across, he has to learn to leave the ball early outside off-stump," he again shared.
However, after a convincing 2-1 series win over Australia, Team India are ready to host England for a full-fledged series, starting with the four-match Test series in Chennai. And all the players have attended their first outdoor session after having three negative results for COVID-19.
"The Indian Cricket Team completed their quarantine period today in Chennai. Three RT-PCR tests for Covid-19 were conducted at regular intervals and all tests have returned negative results. The team will have their first outdoor session today from 5:00 PM and nets sessions will begin from tomorrow," a BCCI spokesperson has said.
