vvvslaxman Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Disclaimer: I have not seen every single good knock. Saw only highlights of some knocks. Lot of good knocks were aided by atrocious bowling like Pandya receiving 3 full tosses on his way to 60. Sanju was good in parts. KL Rahul also had share of his lives. But of all the people Gill looks very impressive. Especially that six against Shami was the best i have seen in this edition. Hope he finds a spot in the Indian squad. Talent like him should be given enough chances to prove. Adamant, chewy and express bowling 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkt.india Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 He has been poor this IPL. zaqw222222 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevada Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 (edited) There is no doubt he looks the most composed among all Indian youngsters. He handles high pace comfortably and spin also. He can be in the ODI lineup so that he can play longer innings and develop more range of strokes and confidence. He should be thankful to KKR for showing so much confidence in him. They have shuffled the opening slot umpteen times but he always opens. Edited October 27, 2020 by nevada express bowling and Mosher 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coffee_rules Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Good to beat Shaw in T20, still not good enough to beat KL, Dhawan Mayank in T20s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straight Drive Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Not yet ready for T20i. Needs to score runs at good strike rate in IPL first. Just adding few meaningless 50's to his tally which kill momentum for his team when the team expects to maximize powerplay advantage in batting innings. Lacks power game and the T20 approach. nevada 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

express bowling Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 (edited) Gill is not a good T20 batsman yet. He is a classical batsman who takes a bit of time to get set and wants to play proper cricketing shots. But his ability and talent is amazingly good against quality bowling, be it pace or spin. He has a lot of time to play genuine pace, is never hurried, seems to read spinners well and when he hits, it looks so effortless and powerful. Those twin 6s that he hit against a rampaging Shami bowling accurately at 140 to 144 ... or that powerful front foot pull off Arshdeep ...or the big 6s off spinners ... the power and ease were amazing. Gill has the ability to be a very very impressive test match and ODI batsman. Edited October 27, 2020 by express bowling Mosher 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SK_IH Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 That was only his 2nd impressive innings of the tournament. He has been the most disappointing Indian emerging player in the tournament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chewy Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Lol @ Gill the best, up to now he has shown not cut out for T20. Doesn't have explosive streak after initial tuk tuk. Keep him for Tests and ODIs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordPrabhzy Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Gill is a Test batsmen.. that’s why his performances in IPL are not explosive. the fact that loser Rahane keeps getting selected along with Rohit on overseas tour, Gill won’t ever get a chance to debut anytime soon.

Mariyam Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Of all the youngsters; Gill, Shaw, Ishan Kishan, Jaiswal, I see promise in Ishan Kishan and Jaiswal. Pant is already established. Or kind of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandeep99 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Look, this guy has struggled this IPL but technically there's no better batsman among the future prospects. Beautiful footwork, sweet swing of the bat and good head on shoulders. What else does a coach need to work with? He's going to get more power as he ages. Time for debut in both tests and ODIs. Keep him out of T20Is for now. Adamant, nevada, express bowling and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch how Shaw urinates past KL's simp face in a matter of 12 months. Respect the new national Vice-Captain of India. Mayank is a kannadiga, talks fluent kannada, might have written kannada poems for all we know, KL calls him Louda out of love. You can't call him a naarthie, bhau. Shaw is meanwhile looking like a junior portly Ravi mama, hardly a threat to KL. cricketfan28 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only reason why Mayank and Manish have bothered to learn a beta language like kannadiga (lmao) is because they need to own the dressing room like the alpha northies they are. Cannot have those bunch of kannadiga betas chatting smack behing their backs. Apparently even Manish's kannada wife prefers her husband to talk dirty in Hindi because it sounds manlier. Let me school you. Kannada is the language, Kannadiga is the person/one who lives in Karnataka. So, go figure. bowl_out and sarchasm 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
