Rahul sir advised not to change my basic game which got me success: Shubman Gill
Gill thanked the contributions of Rahul Dravid, who was his Under-19 coach and Yuvraj Singh for mentoring him
Shubman Gill is not an unknown name anymore. The young sensation from Punjab has taken rapid strides on the domestic front and has established himself as one of the most promising players for the future.
Gill was one of the stars who helped India win the Under-19 World Cup in 2018 in New Zealand. He also proved his mettle while playing for Indian Premier League side Kolkata Knight Riders.
In the recent series against West Indies A, Gill managed a double ton, which was the youngest double century by an Indian in first-class cricket. However, Gill is currently focused on doing well for India A in the upcoming series against South Africa A.
In an interview with PTI, Gill thanked the contributions of Rahul Dravid, who was his Under-19 coach and Yuvraj Singh for mentoring him.
"Rahul sir has been my coach since the India U-19 days and then India A. There is one basic advice from him which I always keep in mind. He would tell me that come what may, never change your basic game that got you success. He (Dravid) said that if we want to get technically more solid, all the adjustments that we make should be within the confines of our basic game," said Gill,
Gill who plays for Punjab side in the Ranji Trophy said that Yuvraj Singh has always helped him by advising how to deal with stardom. "Yuvi paaji gives me a lot of advice about handling pressure, fame and adulation. In the Punjab team, I confide a lot in my senior Gurkeerat Singh Mann. And obviously, any for life decision, I always look up to my dad," he said.
