Battle of young batsmen: Shaw vs Gill

[King Tendulkar]

Changes my mind 

 

after watching while under 19 tournament . Gill is better atm

[Straight Drive]

Both were getting so much compliments but in finals the hero was Manjot. Carried his bat through. Big match player.

Shaw has a serious technical deficiency in that he moves his back foot back, both in his trigger and when he drives. That problem makes you susceptible to balls like the one that clean bowled him today. How do I know? Because I developed the same problem in my game at one point; that mistake alone changed my batting from VVS Laxman to Jasprit Bumrah. He can fix it but needs to discuss with Dravid promptly and rectify.

Iyer pandey yuzi axar nair are senior players now, shardul is in the squad.
Mukund aniket chatterjee nadeem kaul dont look international claas to me.
Nair and jayant are more suited to tests

Gill is ahead..not that Shaw is too far behind ,has some weaknesses in his technique,which can be sorted out as kid is too raw.Gill is more of a complete package but needs to work very hard to go to the next level ie Indian team as there are several Yes-men in the team and selection committee who will constantly ignore his gun performances ..

Shaw IMO is not cut out to be a ODI player in the modern era, although he could have done very well in the 1990s and early 2000s. But, he can be a quality test opener provided he fixes some technical issues (his trigger movements).

only just came across this scorecard but Gill at young age seems to be able to hold his own against KL, Yuvi and Mayank. At least he doesn't look horrendously out of place. May be time to fast track him. No need to delay if already ripe.

Manjot Kalra, seems to have a good eye. Reckon needs to refine his technique in first class so can focus on timing ball better and be more compact (less expansive). Could potentially play for India in future but would say at least 3 years away.
