Barely into his mid-twenties, Shubman Gill has proven himself a formidable force on the cricket pitch.

Tales of Gill’s extraordinary performance have incited cricket fans and experts to draw comparisons between the youngster and cricketing giants like Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli. While Gill has modestly downplayed these comparisons, the accolades continue to pour in, the most recent from Akram. Akram articulated that facing Gill on the cricket pitch, particularly in T20, invoked memories of competing against the ‘Master Blaster’ Tendulkar.

Akram further elaborated on Gill’s technique, highlighting his adherence to classical cricketing shots, likening it to Tendulkar’s and contrasting it with riskier shot-selection by other players.

Earmarking him as the potential ‘future superstar of world cricket,’ Akram’s endorsement carries weight, raising anticipation around Gill’s future exploits on the global cricketing stage.
