Captain Rohit gives chance to other players: Gill
New Delhi (IANS). Reacting to his successful ODI partnership with Rohit Sharma, young India batsman Shubman Gill has said that the captain gives opportunities to other players so that they can express themselves.
Team India has many such players who have performed brilliantly for India as an opener. But if we look at the last few statistics, the name of a young man has been included in this role and he is none other than young batsman Shubman Gill.
Gill has become the perfect partner for Team India in ODIs with captain Rohit Sharma. So far, the pair has scored 685 runs in 9 innings at an average of 76.11.
To repeat the 2011 victory this year, this pair’s walk in the World Cup is important for Team India.
Gill said, “It is great to open with Rohit Sharma, especially knowing that all the focus is going to be on him. He is the kind of player who gives other batsmen a chance to express themselves and Take the innings forward in your own way.”
The pair has crossed the 50 mark as openers 6 times in 8 matches. Along with this, he has a big partnership of 143 runs against Sri Lanka in Guwahati and 212 runs against New Zealand in Indore.
Their different attacking schemes and different scoring strengths in their batting work well for the team. Which makes it difficult for the opposition bowlers and captains to face this challenge.
If Rohit-Gil has to maintain their opening pair in the World Cup. So, he will first have to prove himself once again in the Asia Cup in Sri Lanka and the three-match ODI series at home against Australia.
