Gill wants to improve his game on a day-to-day basis: Ashwin

One of the key features of the test series wherein India registered a 4-1 win over England was the promise shown by Indian batsman Shubman Gill. Indian spinner Ravichandran Ashwin talked about this in a video broadcasted in his YouTube channel. “I give extra praise to Shubman Gill because he has seen the ups and downs of the game. People discussed his position in the XI. He had a few technical issues of his own. He came past all that to become what he is today, like how gold is molten from flames and water. And for somebody who is bound to be the next superstar of Indian cricket, as people project, this is a very important journey for him. He has handled the pressure, and massive applause is for him,” Ashwin said. 

Ashwin also highlighted the intent shown by Shubman Gill while fielding. “Short mid-wicket is Virat Kohli’s position. It is very difficult to replace him. Virat and Raina. Gill started off there in the first test, and he looked very uncomfortable. By the final Test, he got it (like Vijay says to Sivakarthikeyan). He also took a catch of Duckett on covers. It shows that he wants to improve his game on a day-to-day basis, and he’s working on it,” Ashwin mentioned.
