Gill Has Shown He Can Fill Boots Of 'Fab Four' Era Batters: Mark Ramprakash
Fab Four: Former England batter Mark Ramprakash has praised India Test captain Shubman Gill for his classic batting technique and being adaptable across formats, saying that he has shown the potential to fill in the boots of ‘Fab Four’ — Virat Kohli, Joe Root, Steve Smith and Kane Williamson — era batters.
After amassing scores of 147 and 8 in Leeds, Gill smashed gigantic scores of 269 and 161 to be at the forefront of a thumping 336-run win for India in Birmingham. Ahead of the third Test at Lord’s starting on Thursday, Gill has reached 585 runs in the five-match series and is primed to score more at the iconic venue.
"We have to pay testament to his stamina, his skill and his hunger – not just for runs, but to set an example as the new captain of a young team. Captaincy can affect a player’s form detrimentally, but it seems to have focused him and his three highest Test scores have been made in the past three weeks.
