Asia Cup: If Shubman And Abhishek Bat 15 Overs, Even 250 Can Be Chased, Says Yograj Singh
T20 Asia Cup Super Fours: Former India cricketer Yograj Singh has lavished praise on Shubman Gill and Abhishek Sharma after their blistering opening stand powered India to a six-wicket victory over Pakistan in the Men’s T20 Asia Cup Super Fours clash on Sunday.
On the night, Abhishek smashed a scintillating 74 off 39 balls and Gill struck 47 off 28 as their 105-run opening partnership set up India’s highest successful chase against Pakistan in T20Is. Chasing 172, India crossed the line with seven balls to spare, extending their unbeaten run in the competition.
“Let me tell you a very simple thing. The way Shubman Gill and Abhishek are playing, even if you have 250 runs, you will chase, but these two will have to play for 15 overs,” Yograj told IANS. “If Shubman and Abhishek play for 15 overs, then our target is 200 runs and after that you can score 300 or whatever. But I will only say one thing to Abhishek and Yuvraj has also said it many times. Try to play for 12 to 15 overs, that’s all.”
