• Shubman Gill turns 26: How India's rising superstar has made his mark across all formats

  With a short arm jab worth being replayed a billion times, a cover drive that looks as mesmerising as his predecessors and a pull shot that screams pure dominance and authority, Gill is the newest poster boy of Indian cricket, as his seniors Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli enter the twilight of their decorated careers. These three shots are just a tip of the iceberg as far as Gill's shot variety is concerned. The finnesse, touch and access to all parts of the ground has been inherited by the 'Prince' from the ones who came before him. Safe to say, these shots are in the right hands and would be instrumental in several future batting records.
