Shubman Gill who is currently in New Zealand with the Indian cricket team as a part of the India tour of New Zealand 2022 praises Suryakumar Yadav and went on to say that “It’s great fun to bat alongside him”.
Gill Praises Suryakumar Yadav
In the scheduled three-match ODI series, New Zealand won the first match and leads the series while the second match has been abandoned. Gill scored a decent half-century in the first ODI where India lost the match by 7 wickets.
In the second ODI Gill scored 45 runs and remained undefeated before rain interupted the match and ends – no result.
Speaking at media after the abandoned 2nd ODI, Gill said that there’s never a need to speak to Surya in the middle as he has been in such a good touch.
“Baatcheet koi…wo itni acchi batting kar rahe hai, unkey sath baatcheet karney ki zaroorat rehti nahi hai waise to, but kaafi maza aata hai unkey sath batting karney mein. (Considering the way he is playing right now, there is never a need to have any conversation with him. He is batting so well, but yes, It’s great fun to bat alongside him),” Gill said.
The top-order batter was also asked about his 2023 ODI World Cup ambitions. But, he refused to give much attention to the question, suggesting he is only focused on doing well in the opportunities given to him.
“I am not looking that far (playing in the 2023 World Cup). Right now, my focus is to make the most out of the chances I get to play for the country and score big. This is what I am looking to do in this series as well,” he said.
The third match of the series will be played on November 30 at Hagley Oval, Christchurch.
