IND Vs BAN ICC ODI World Cup 2023: This ODI World Cup has been tough for Shubman Gill so far. It was looking like a dream campaign for him as he was supposed to enter the tournament as the most in-form batsman in the world.
But his aspirations took a huge hit when he was diagnosed with dengue right before the tournament. He missed the first two matches of the World Cup because of that. But a brilliant recovery saw him returning for the clash against Pakistan.
He looked in solid touch against arch-rivals but failed to score big. So, the match against Bangladesh was a perfect opportunity for him to get back in form. And he did that in absolute style as he scored a sensational half-century against the neighbors.
A Sensational Half-Century
Gill looked comfortable from the start of the match as he scored a brilliant boundary on the first ball he faced. It was a deft touch towards long on and the ball raced towards the boundary. It was evident that he was looking to score big.
He continued that superb touch and attacked the bowlers whenever needed while maintaining a stable pace. Rohit Sharma was showing a batting clinic on the other hand, Gill was acting like a glue to that partnership.
But even Gill made sure to attack whenever he got the chance. He scored 5 fours and 2 sixes in his 53 runs innings and had a strike rate of more than 90, which is very impressive. It is one of the best news that the Indian team has heard in a long time.
