gakgupta Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Well... There was lot of hype about P. Shaw in ICF and everywhere. Probably he deserves all of that....But who do you think is better batsmen right now.. Gill or Shaw? I followed U19's series with England to certain extent and i clearly noticed that Gill is head and shoulder above Shaw and every other batsmen from either side....He was playing like a champion batsmen....I am making this statement, not because he made 2 daddy centuries but his technique looked so right and made batting looked easy... By making above statement, i am not undermining efforts of P. Shaw but only questioning the statement "P.Shaw is the brightest star of Indian cricket future". PS: S. Gill already got a call for Indian A team. Vk1 1 Link to comment
wanted_desi Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Gill hasn't played much after that India U19, and where as Shaw has played first class cricket and Duleep trophy. so its hard to judge at the point of time. Link to comment
King Tendulkar Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Has to be shaw. As doing the bussiness in big boy cricket ie fc cricket but great if gill has or is as good as shaw. Let’s hope gill plays more fc now . Why hasn’t he ? Link to comment

fineleg Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 How can you say "Who is better" at this young age? In a few years time, the batting and runs can speak for itself. Then we can think if comparison is merited or not. Cricketics 1 Link to comment

This kid facing 300 balls a day at 3 no one makes just by luck . Coached early at young ages from Sachin to gill Link to comment

Gill was already selected for A side...So, selectors think he might be better than Shaw... Anyways, Looks like you are offended....it's just a comparison JaFanatic 1 Link to comment
NameGoesHere Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Just a random thought looking at Shaw and Gill, these gun sportsmen all have what Hemingway memorably called machine gunner eyes, dead calm, still and flat. Link to comment

Your description reminds me of Robin Uthappa - Assassin eyes - hardly ever saw him blink in close-ups on the batting crease. A big contrast to Gangu, who was a blink a second...

Other U-19 batsmen have talent too (e.g. Anmolpreet), and there's a few who are in early 20s as well. Link to comment
Texan Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Good to see that we have options among young players especially in the all important opener's slot. Link to comment

Panchal and Prashant Chopra last yr, Shaw and Mayank Agarwal this year have done well. In addition, Samarth has done well, and now we have Gill coming up through the ranks. Bista, a flashy batsman who'd disappeared for a while, also seems to be making something of a comeback with two tons. Link to comment
Sandeep99 Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 I have a good feeling about Gill. Should be fast tracked. Shaw can be an accumulator but Gill will be your match winner. I'm going by the generic template of Mumbai vs Delhi cricketers. Link to comment
