LONDON: Former England player Mark Ramprakash has hailed Shubman Gill for his stamina, skill and hunger, saying the young India batter and captain has shown he is capable of filling the boots of the ‘Fab Four’ of world cricket whose era is nearing an end.
Gill scored 269 and 161 in the two innings of the Birmingham Test, adding to his 147 and 8 in the series opener at Leeds. He has totalled 585 runs in two Tests of the five-match series.
“We have to pay testament to his stamina, his skill and his hunger – not just for runs, but to set an example as the new captain of a young team,” Ramprakash wrote ‘The Guardian’.
