Hamilton: Former head coach Ravi Shastri has also joined the fans of India opener Shubman Gill. Shastri believes there is something ‘special’ in this young batsman. Gill has been in fine form in the ongoing ODI series against New Zealand. He scored 50 in the opening match on Thursday and scored an unbeaten 45 in the rain-curtailed second match on Saturday.
Shastri said on Prime Video, the official broadcaster of this three-match series, “It is great to see him play. There is something special in his batting. He has great skills and will be in the team for a long time. He is not afraid to work hard and has the hunger to succeed. He has a lot of love for the game and is down to earth.”
