Talented Shubman Gill’s ‘telling hundred’ gets massive praise from ABD

Former SA skipper Ab de Villiers heaped praise on Shubman Gill for his century in the IND vs ENG 2nd Test, noting that it was a gamechanger

Former South Africa skipper Ab De Villiers heaped praise on Shubman Gill after his show in IND vs ENG 2nd Test. Breaking free from the shackles of poor form, Gill scored a century in the 2nd innings. India went on to clinch a sensational 106-run win in Vizag to level the series 1-1.

ABD says Gill’s innings made the difference in IND vs ENG 2nd Test

In a video in his YouTube channel, de Villiers notes that Gill showed his incredible character in Vizag. The ex-Proteas skipper says he doesn’t know if the batter made any changes to his technique, but it should the talent he possesses. He adds that the ‘telling hundred’ in the 2nd innings was the difference between the two sides.

“He (Gill) came to Vizag and just showed the incredible character that the young man has got. What an incredible player. I don’t know if he has worked on his technique at all or has anything changed, but it just shows you the talent he has got. In the second innings of a big Test match, that was a telling hundred and let me tell you, that was the difference between the two sides,” says De Villiers.

Gill highlighted how he has experience batting at number three after doing so in first-class cricket. However, he admitted that batting in domestic cricket is vastly different from international cricket.

I told them I have batted at number three in first class, and I’ve scored three double tons at number three, and it wasn’t something that I’d never done. But obviously, betting at number three in international cricket is a bit different.
