They can be something as great as Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly: Robin Uthappa on Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill opening pair.

The ongoing T20I series between India and West Indies continues with excitement, as the leadership of Hardik Pandya led the Indian team to a significant nine-wicket triumph in Lauderhill, Florida. This victory not only leveled the series but also heightened the anticipation for a thrilling decider on Sunday at the same venue.In pursuit of a respectable target of 179 runs, India’s opening batsmen, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill, showcased exceptional batting skills.

Gill’s impressive knock of 77 runs from 47 balls, combined with Jaiswal’s unbeaten 84 off 51 balls, formed a dominant 165-run partnership. Remarkably, this partnership matched the record set six years ago by Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul.The outstanding collaboration between Gill and Jaiswal has sparked conversations within the cricketing community, prompting comparisons to the legendary partnership of Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly.

Robin Uthappa, a former Indian cricketer and current JioCinema expert, also shared his insights into the potential of this young batting duo.

Uthappa remarked “Everyone who plays for India are equally capable and have equal ability but the way Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill bat in tandem; they can bat for each other as well and they need to find that space. If they do, they are going to be a very dangerous pair for India in years to come.”

“It will be a hot pair and they can be something as great as Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly opening the batting. They need to figure a few things out and if they do, they will do great things for India.”
