He wants to be next Virat Kohli’ :Suresh Raina’s comments upon Shubman Gill ahead of World Cup.

Indian batting sensation Shubman Gill is currently showcasing exceptional form, establishing himself as the leading run-scorer in ODIs throughout 2023. The 24-year-old cricketer recently concluded the Asia Cup 2023 as the tournament’s highest run-getter, amassing a notable 302 runs to his credit. As India gears up for the impending World Cup, Gill is poised to play a pivotal role as one of the team’s primary batsmen, shouldering the responsibility of providing a strong start at the top of the batting order.

Prior to the marquee event, Shubman Gill has garnered high praise from former Indian cricketer and 2011 World Cup champion, Suresh Raina. Raina has acknowledged Gill’s significance within the team, identifying him as one of the key players to watch during the World Cup. He has even expressed expectations that Gill can replicate the impressive batting performance showcased by Rohit Sharma during the 2019 edition of the tournament.

Raina said “He’ll be one of the most important players at the World Cup. I know that he wants to be a superstar and wants to be the next Virat Kohli and is in that aura already and after this World Cup, we will be talking about him more often. What Rohit Sharma did in the 2019 World Cup; Gill could do the same for India this year. He’ll get 50 overs to bat, so it’s a takeoff point for his batting.”
