Champions Trophy: Ex-spinner Hails Gill's Calibre Of Knowing 'when To Hold Back And Play Responsibly'
After Shubman Gill: After Shubman Gill scored an unbeaten century to inspire a six-wicket win in India's Group A Champions Trophy fixture against Bangladesh in the Champions Trophy, former India cricketer Piyush Chawla lavished praise on the opener's mindset and said the right-hander knows when he has to hold back and when to play responsibly.
The Indian opener continued his rich vein of form, amassing 101 not out off 129 deliveries, laced with nine fours and two sixes. This was Gill's slowest ODI hundred as he was tested thoroughly by Bangladesh’s bowlers on a sluggish pitch with no dew around.
"It was an impressive knock because it wasn’t the easiest pitch to bat on. When you’re chasing around 230 runs on such a surface, you need someone to stay till the end, and that’s exactly what Shubman Gill did. A player of his calibre, who is in such good form, knows when to hold back and play responsibly. That’s what makes him such an important player for this Indian team. He understands the situation and what the team needs at any given time," Chawla said on JioHotstar.
