(Watch) Sara Tendulkar cheers and claps for Shubman Gill as he hits boundary, India Vs Bangladesh WC match.
Shubman Gill, the opening batsman for India, displayed exceptional form during the Cricket World Cup 2023 match against Bangladesh. In this game, he not only contributed significantly with the bat but also gained a new admirer in the form of Sara Tendulkar, the daughter of the legendary Sachin Tendulkar.
In the pursuit of a target of 257 runs to secure victory, India got off to a promising start, with Rohit Sharma being the standout performer in terms of run-scoring. However, it was in the seventh over of the match, bowled by Hasan Mahmud, that Shubman Gill caught the attention. After a period without boundaries, Gill managed to hit one, capturing the interest of the crowd and even earning admiration from Sara Tendulkar.
This match marked Shubman Gill’s second appearance in the World Cup, having recently recovered from a bout of dengue fever. In his return to the team against Pakistan, he displayed a promising start but eventually fell while taking on the opposition bowlers. However, during the match against Bangladesh in Pune, Gill adopted a more cautious approach. On the second delivery of Hasan’s over, Gill found the outside edge of the ball, which then raced to the third man boundary, earning him four runs.
