The cricketing world is vibrating with anticipation for the next match between India and Australia at the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023. Young batting star Shubman Gill has received a huge vote of confidence from renowned former Indian bowler Zaheer Khan.
Gill has been predicted by Khan to score the most runs in this World Cup.
The Indian opener, who has had a great 2023, has been nothing short of exceptional, especially in the One Day International (ODI) format. With a stunning average of 72.35 and a brilliant strike rate of 105.03, he has amassed 1,230 runs in just 20 outings. His six ODI centuries have been the youngster’s crowning achievement in this incredible year, a performance that will be unmatched in 2023.
Look at his year, though. 2023 has been an incredible year for him. Across all formats, he has been scoring hundreds and double hundreds. Very reliable. In an interview with India Today, Zaheer said, “I’ve really mentioned that he’s going to be the leading scorer for this tournament.
Shubman Gill The future of Gill’s World Cup debut is uncertain as he battles health problems.
Due to a case of dengue illness, Gill’s participation in the opening game against Australia is unclear. However, the Indian camp is still cautiously optimistic as of October 6, 2023. The 24-year-old was feeling better, according to Indian coach Rahul Dravid, and the medical staff hasn’t officially ruled him out for the match. Shubman has not yet been ruled out, according to captain Rohit Sharma.
Ishan Kishan, a talented young batter, seems prepared to replace the Punjab batsman as Rohit Sharma’s opening partner if the Indian team’s playing XI for their World Cup opener against Australia on October 8 is not able to include him. Kishan has an amazing double-century to his credit, which he scored while starting the inning against Bangladesh. The overhanging concern at this point is how India will approach this key match while navigating this crucial selection conundrum.
