IPL 2022: Ravi Shastri Calls Gujarat Titans Star “One Of The Most Talented Players In World Cricket”
Former India head coach Ravi Shastri lavished admiration on rookie batter Shubman Gill as Gujarat Titans; beat Delhi Capitals by 14 runs to maintain their flawless start to the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022. The 22-year-old had been dismissed for a duck in GT’s opening encounter of the season; but he bounced back against DC with a magnificent knock to help his club; record 170/6 against a strong bowling attack. Ravi Shastri praised him as a “pure talent” and claimed; he is one of India’s and the world’s most talented cricketers.
“He is a natural born performer. To be honest, that man is one of the most talented cricketers in the country; if not the globe “After Gill’s 84 against DC, Shastri told host broadcasters Star Sports.
“He’ll score once he gets rolling, and he makes it seem easy. He’s got the punch, he’s got the time; and he’s got the strength to knock you out “He went on to say more.
“He was designed specifically for this game’s format. It’s merely his shot selection and strike rotation, both of which he discussed. There were very few dot balls today, which relieved him of some of the burden. And he’ll be the one to throw the bad balls away “he stated.

In his 46-ball innings, Gill only faced six dot balls.
“He’s a master of the short ball, as evidenced by his short-arm jab in this innings. And this will do wonders for his self-assurance “Shastri expressed his displeasure with his knock.
In T20 cricket, this was Gill’s highest score.
