Shubman gill double century: Indian cricket has got a new ‘superstar’, named Shubman Gill. Gill has started making records on records as soon as he becomes the captain of the Indian Test team. He scored a century in the first Test of the series and has now scored a double century in the second Test. Actually, before the series against England, Gill’s Test record was nothing special, but the prediction of his becoming a great player was predicted a year ago.
It was predicted a year ago
England veteran Kevin Pietersen has shared a picture of one of his old tweets. In this post done in February 2024, Peterson claimed that if he gives some time to Gill, he will emerge as a great player. Peterson wrote in his old tweet, “Jacques Kallis was just 22 in the first 10 Test matches, but later he became one of the greatest players in cricket history. Give him some time to find Shubman Gill’s greatness.”
