Rohit Sharma on Shubman Gill Vice Captain: Before the introduction of the ICC Champions Trophy campaign against Bangladesh, India captain Rohit Sharma defended the vice-captain of young opener Shubman Gill, saying that his ODI numbers have been quite “crazy” for the last three-four years. Let me tell you, India is starting its campaign against Bangladesh on 20 February. After this, Team India will take on Pakistan and New Zealand. India will have to stay in the top-2 in its group in the league stage to reach the semi-finals.
Indian captain Rohit Sharma said about Gill’s vice -captain at a press conference held on the eve of the match against Bangladesh, “Gill is a very level player. We are mixing the format, which I think I think is not appropriate. There is no doubt on their capacity in this format. And eventually this will help us. “
Shubman Gill has scored 5,058 runs in 103 international matches at an average of 43.60, including 130 centuries and 25 fifties in 130 innings. His best score is 208. Shubman Gill’s figures are not as good as in ODIs. In 32 Tests and 59 innings, he has scored 1,893 runs at an average of 35.05, including five centuries and seven fifties and his best score is 128. If we talk about T20 International, then he has scored 578 runs at an average of 30.42 with a strike rate of 139.27. In this format, he has a century and three half -centuries.
His best format is ODI, where he has currently scored the most runs after beating South Africa’s great Hashim Amla (2,486 runs) after 50 innings. He has scored 2,587 runs in 50 matches and 50 innings at an average of 60.16, including seven centuries and 15 fifties. His best score is 208.
