Suryakumar Yadav compares Shubman and Abhishek to fire and ice in Friends

The contrasting batting styles of inseparable best buddies Abhishek Sharma and Shubman Gill makes them a riveting "fire-and-ice" combination in India's T20 cricket set-up, feels skipper Suryakumar Yadav. On Sunday, what looked like a tricky chase of 172 in the Asia Cup clash against arch foes Pakistan, became a cakewalk because the two best friends since the age of 10, conjured an eye-catching 105-run opening stand. Abhishek went on to score a scintillating 74 off 39 balls, his first fifty in the tournament while Gill shrugged off disappointment of an underwhelming league stage with a facile 47 off 28 balls. "It's like a fire-and-ice combination. They complement each other really well. And that's what I want to see. If someone is batting brilliantly, the other can take the back-seat and rotate the strike. It was required today to have a very good start. And they did (provide that)," Suryakumar told mediapersons after India's six-wicket win in the Super 4 game here on Sunday. Having

Gill hails Birmingham double century as unforgettable after ICC award

The epic double hundred in a winning cause at Edgbaston will forever be etched in the memory of Indian skipper Shubman Gill, who was on Tuesday named ICC's 'Player Of The Month' for scoring 754 runs in the recently-concluded five-Test series against England. Gill, who was inspirational both as a batter and skipper, led from the front with four hundreds as a young Indian team without Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma drew 2-2 against England. The Indian skipper, who won the award ahead of his England counterpart Ben Stokes and South Africa all-rounder Wiaan Mulder, said he was hoping to continue his good form in the season ahead. "It feels great to be named the ICC Player of the Month for July. This time it holds a lot more significance since it has come for my performances during my first Test series as captain. The double ton in Birmingham is obviously something I will cherish forever and will be one of the highlights of my tour to England," Gill was quoted as saying in an ICC media ..

Shubman Gill's future is bright in Indian cricket, says Gautam Gambhir

India head coach Gautam Gambhir was all praise for skipper Shubman Gill leading from the front during the just-concluded England series as he expects him to shine brightly in years to come. Gill played a massive role in India's creditable 2-2 draw, scoring 754 runs with four hundreds in the five-match series. "I think Gill has done a fabulous job, that's all I can say and he will keep doing well for Indian cricket," Gambhir told reporters on his arrival from England on Tuesday. While he had a role in making tactical calls, Gambhir didn't want to take any credit for the superb show in England. "We are really happy. I think the boys deserve every bit of it because they way the fought since the last two months in all the five Test matches. They deserve all the plaudits." Mohammed Siraj is getting praise from all and sundry but the coach said that he can go on waxing eloquent about all others who made significant impact at various points during the series.

Sachin Tendulkar lauds Gill's thought process and discipline at crease

India captain Shubman Gill was extremely consistent with his thought process but more importantly he respected the "good balls" to amass record-breaking 754 runs against England, said Sachin Tendulkar on Tuesday. While Gill (754 runs) missed breaking Sunil Gavaskar's record of most runs for any Indian in a bilateral Test series (774), he did go past the latter's record of most runs for an India captain in a series (732). Gill now stands second behind Sir Don Bradman (810 runs) in the all-time captains' chart. "Shubman batted brilliantly throughout the series. He looked calm, composed and organised, Tendulkar said in a series of videos posted on Reddit. When it comes to quality batting, you got to have a clear head and a game plan -- how you're going to build your innings -- and he was extremely consistent as far as his thought process was concerned, because it reflects on your footwork." "If you're not clear in your head, your body doesn't respond accordingly. His body was respond

Monday morning truly reflects what our team stands for: Shubman Gill

India, a team in transition, refused to give up every time they were pushed to the wall during the five-match Test series against England, including on a riveting final day at The Oval. That fighting spirit defines the team, said captain Shubman Gill on Monday. It was a massive series for Gill and his team following the retirements of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, besides the absence senior player like Mohammed Shami. Even Jasprit Bumrah was not available for all games, forcing them to change the bowling combination in every game. On day four of the final Test here, India looked down and out with Harry Brook and Joe Root keeping England on course for a record chase but Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna brought the visitors back from the dead. Even on Monday morning, the odds were stacked against India but Gill and Co. managed to pull off a sensational victory to draw to series. What we did this morning, kind of summarises what this team is all about. 70 odd runs, 7 wickets in hand

I think we have showed why we are a great team: India skipper Shubman Gill

India skipper Shubman Gill reckons the belief to stage an epic final day turnaround in the fourth Test against England stemmed from his partnership with KL Rahul and in doing so, they showed why they are a "great team". Starting their second innings 311 runs in arrears after England racked up a massive first-innings total, Gill, Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar struck excellent hundreds to bail their team from the brink of defeat and remain in contention to level the five-match series. "To be able to have that same mindset for 140 overs is very difficult, and that is what differentiates a good team from a great team, and I think we showed that today, that is why we are a great team," Gill told the BCCI TV. "Zero for two and then the partnership between me and KL bhai, I think that's what ignited the belief that yes, we can achieve this task. Extremely, extremely happy. To be able to get a draw from the position that we were in yesterday is extremely satisfying," he added. Rahu
