Among the current generation of Indian cricketers, based purely on age and potential, Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal appear to be the most promising candidates.
Sai Sudharsan has been the silent force behind the Gujarat Titans' success in IPL 2025. Often overshadowed by bigger names, he has quietly amassed 509 runs in 11 innings
Shubman Gill, who was named Rohit's deputy in the ODI format, is also seen as a future leader within the team management, which makes him a favourite to succeed Rohit as India's red-ball skipper
Gujarat Titans skipper Shubman Gill said the understanding of playing on tricky surfaces has helped the top-three including himself, Sai Sudharsan and Jos Buttler to do well in the IPL this season. The trio has scored the bulk of the runs for GT who are on course to make the play-offs. It was no different on Friday as the top-order took the home side to 224 for six which the bowlers could comfortably defend against Sunrisers Hyderabad. GT also played just 22 dot balls in 20 overs. "Didn't plan that (22 dot balls), idea was to continue to play like we have. Black soil (pitches), we've seen it's not easy to hit sixes. But the way our top order plays, we know how to keep the scoreboard ticking. "We've never had the conversation for one of the top-three to always be there at the end. We're just eager to do our best," said Gill at the post match presentation. He top scored with 76 off 38 balls. On his heated exchange with the umpire during the run chase, Gill added: "There are so many

A delighted Gujarat Titans skipper Shubman Gill credited his team's strong start to the season with four wins in five matches to a collective effort, with everyone chipping in. Gujarat Titans notch a commanding 58-run win over Rajasthan Royals in their IPL clash here on Wednesday, riding on Sai Sudharsan's classy fifty combined with a collective bowling effort. GT piled on 217 for 6 after being asked to bat and then bowled RR out for 159 in 19.2 overs to win the match. "Good total put up. It was not easy, the first three fours overs, it was nipping. Sai and Jos batted tremendously. We'd take 220 any day," Gill said at the post-match presentation. "Our fast bowlers are doing a tremendous job. Everyone is chipping in. If you are having difficulties in choosing the Player of the Match, that is the hallmark of a great team. "When you have bowlers like we do, captaincy becomes easy. Whosoever I bring in, they are happy to contribute," he added. Asked if it's difficult to lead the team
Gujarat Titans skipper Shubman Gill asserted there were no issues with his team's middle order after his side defeated five-time champions Mumbai Indians in a match where the top order did the bulk of the scoring for the home side here. GT overcame Mumbai Indians by 36 runs, making use of the home conditions and black soil pitch as they posted a steep 196 for eight and then restricted Hardik Pandya's team to 160 for six. GT's top-three batters -- openers Sai Sudharsan (68) and Gill (38) and one-down batter Jos Buttler (39) -- gave the home side a flourishing start but the middle order, comprising Shahrukh Khan (9), Sherfane Rutherford (18), Rahul Tewatia (0) and Rashid Khan (6), went cheaply. However, Gill said it was not a concern. "I don't think so (middle order is a concern). Even in the previous match (vs Punjab Kings), I think, yes it was a high-scoring game and we were chasing around 250 runs (243), but Rutherford scored around 48 runs (46 in the middle order). It's not a bad

he young Indian opener, who was seen practicing with the bat earlier on Tuesday, has now officially joined the ranks of India's greatest cricketers who have been backed by the iconic brand.
Impressed by Shubman Gill's range of strokes and technique, former players Sanjay Bangar and Navjot Singh Sidhu on Monday earmarked the 25-year-old as the one who will lead the Indian team's batting in the years to come. Gill made a fluent 46 in India's six-wicket win over Pakistan in the Champions Trophy here on Sunday, following up his classy match-winning hundred in their tournament opener against Bangladesh. "Clearly, he's the guy who is going to shoulder the responsibility of the Indian team going forward in years to come," Bangar said JioHotstar. Speaking about the 25-year-old's technique, Bangar said, "(His) foundations are really, really strong and add to that the confidence of nearly two-and-a-half years of performing in one-day cricket. In one-day cricket, he's been phenomenal." "Now look, the straight drive, the on-drive are the shots wherein you cannot actually hit the ball really hard. But here, he was hitting the ball so hard that despite the mid-off and the mid-on ..
India vice-captain Shubman Gill on Saturday said the lack of dew in Dubai has made chasing a trickier proposition and his team would prefer putting runs on the board in the high-stakes game against Pakistan in the Champions Trophy here. Though India have dominated Pakistan in world events and also in the recent past, the match generates plenty of hype. Gill is well aware of the build-up created by fans on either side of the border but it doesn't change anything for him and his team. "It's not for me to say whether India-Pakistan contest is under-hyped or over-hyped. There is a long history of India-Pakistan cricket. It is a very exciting contest but it doesn't change anything for us. "It is an important but the most important match will be the final," Gill told reporters on the eve of the game. Dew played a big role when the T20 World Cup was held in the UAE and Gill said it impacts the game even more in the ODI format. However, the lack of dew here has made batting tougher under
Scoring his maiden century in an ICC event, Shubman regarded the knock as one of the most satisfying knocks of his career so far. His 101* against Bangladesh helped the team get an opening win.
