Navjot Singh Sidhu praising Shubman Gill.

Sidhu said, “Shubman Gill remained like a surprise element. People thought that earlier when he used to play abroad, he could not do well. But now he has gone far ahead of that era. He has traveled to ‘King from Prince’. The king is the one who grows the empire.”
For the first time, he asked for the players playing in the Test match and playing with new responsibilities- Ratna, Navratna all became useless. Coloring bowling tools were done and those who first landed in the water, they crossed the river.
Never seen such an innings, especially the credit to the captain
Describing this innings against England as a major turn in Indian cricket history, Shubman Gill shared 203 runs with Jadeja and 103 runs with Sundar to add more than 300 runs. This was shocking. “
Sidhu further said, “When the whole world was thinking that he could not, Shubman did it. This was the first time that a captain should perform himself and bear the full weight of leadership. After scoring 270 runs, he also affected the bowling by taking a catch.”
Akashdeep’s bowling chewed iron gram
He also praised Akashdeep’s bowling, saying, “The bowling lineup that was being doubted earlier chewed England. Akashdeep’s bowling was praised.”
In the end Sidhu said, “Shubman Gill’s arrival is auspicious sign. He has awakened the confidence of victory in 150 crore Indians. Ratna, Navratna are all left behind. Today Shubman showed that those who landed in water for the first time can also go across the river.”
