IND vs NZ: On January 18, Shubman Gill has done something which many will remember for years to come. The batter scored a double hundred and became India’s fifth batter to score a double century. Gill smashed 19 fours and 8 sixes in his knock of 208 runs.
Kohli praise Gill
Meanwhile, BCCI posted a video where Virat Kohli heaped praise on Gill.
“I would call it outstanding. Especially considering that the next best score wasn’t even 40, and the fact that he got a double hundred was a knock at a very, very high level,” said Kohli in the video.
“I think he was totally in his element today and showed why so many people have been saying such great things about him for years. I wish him all the best. Hope he builds on this. Today it was just a privilege to watch him bat.”
Gill proved his worth
Gill was playing at the top order in place of Ishan Kishan who also scored a double ton recently. After team management decided to play Gill in place of Kishan, the 23-year-old faced a lot of backlash along with the Rohit Sharma-Rahul Dravid-led management.
