Punjab: Kolkata Knight Riders and India batsman Shubman Gill said that he will prefer paying in the World Test Championship Final rather than the T20 World Cup Final. He was speaking in an interview with ESPNcricinfo. Gill said, “playing in World Test Championship’s final is a bigger dream than playing the T20 World Cup final because WTC is happening for the first time.”
Shubman Gill plays for Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the IPL and he shot to fame after the U-19 Cricket World Cup of 2018. Batting at no. 3 Gill scored 418 runs at an average of 104.5. Later, he made his Test debut against Australia in December 2020. He had a good series down under. Although he hasn’t scored any century yet, he has managed to impress the selectors with his few good performances.
In the Interview with ESPNcricinfo, he also said that he would teach Virat Kohli how to play FIFA video game. He also revealed that Andre Russell has the heaviest bat in the KKR dressing room. It was a fun chat where Gill answered 25 quick questions.
Shubman Gill has been selected in India’s squad that is bound to play the World Test Championship against New Zealand on June 18, 2021.
India squad for WTC Final: Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Mayank Agarwal, Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli (c), Ajinkya Rahane (vc), Hanuma Vihari, Rishabh Pant (wicket-keeper), R. Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Washington Sundar, Jasprit Bumrah, Ishant Sharma, Mohd. Shami, Md.
