“He is already competing with the greats” – Twitter goes berserk after Shubman Gill hits a whirlwind 129 off 60 against MI

The entire cricket fraternity was taken aback by Shubman Gill’s batting masterclass in the second qualifier against Mumbai Indians in the world’s largest cricket stadium – Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

The young talented prospect lit the stadium on fire with his fiery batting abilities. Initially, he took some time to assess the conditions and once he was comfortable, there was no stopping him as he inflicted quite a lot of damage on the Mumbai Indians’ bowlers.

The MI bowlers were trying their maximum best to stop the right-handed batter from going all guns blazing. However, whatever tactic they used against him didn’t pay off in the first place. Shubman Gill bashed the MI bowlers with relative ease.

The youngster brought up his third IPL century in the important fixture against Mumbai Indians. Notably, it is also his third century in the last four innings for Gujarat Titans this season. Gill hit a whirlwind 129 off 60 balls before he was dismissed by Akash Madhwal.

During his stay at the crease, Shubman Gill smacked as many as 10 sixes and 7 fours to his credit. In the end, Gujarat Titans ended up posting a challenging total of 233/3 for the loss of three wickets in their allotted quota of 20 overs.

Hardik Pandya provided a great idea of fireworks in the end as he scored 28 off 13 balls including 2 fours and 2 sixes.

Mumbai Indians’ playing XI: Ishan Kishan (wk), Rohit Sharma (c), Cameron Green, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Tim David, Chris Jordan, Piyush Chawla, Jason Behrendorff, Kumar Kartikeya, Akash Madhwal

You see players dominate either spin or pace. But the ones who can dominate both are very special cricketers. And undeniably Shubman Gill is a special one. What a player, what an elegant player.

Gill what a Talent 🔥❣️.
He's a Mixture of Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma & Sachin Tendulkar.

But Don't compare with King Kohli 👑 , you are not Spreading Hatred on Him.
Shumbman Gill the Prince has a long way to prove for Indian cricket which Virat Kohli did at 22 Age.
