Mohammad Kaif Says of India’s Up-and-Coming Batsman Before Their New Zealand Tour, “All Eyes Will Be On…”

After being eliminated in the quarterfinals of the Twenty20 World Cup 2022, Team India will be playing New Zealand in a white-ball series beginning on Friday. This will be their first tournament since the sad loss. In the Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is), India will be captained by all-rounder Hardik Pandya, while Shikhar Dhawan will lead the team in the One-Day Internationals (ODIs). The series will see the international comeback of IPL 2022 sensation Umran Malik, who last competed in a Twenty20 International match against England in July. Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Siraj, and Yuzvendra Chahal are all members of the Indian team. In addition to this, batsman Shubman Gill has been selected for the Twenty20 International team and is poised to make his debut in the shortest format. Mohammad Kaif, a former cricketer for India, praised the decision of the selectors to include Gill in the Twenty20 International team and noted that the 23-year-old hitter has been in “great form” recently.

“Over the course of the past five or six months, he has been participating in class activities. He was an indispensable contributor to Gujarat Titans’ success in the IPL. He has a high run total and maintains an average in first-class cricket that falls between 50 and 60.

During the course of this tour, everyone will be focusing on Shubman Gill. Prior to this, he had only participated in One-Day Internationals (ODIs), but the selectors did the smart thing by bringing him into the T20I team “During the course of the conversation on Sportskeeda, Kaif stated.

Since making his One-Day International debut in 2019, Gill has competed in 12 matches and scored 579 runs.

In August, when playing Zimbabwe in a series of one-day internationals (ODIs), he notched his first century in international competition. The right-handed batsman has participated in 11 tests, scoring 579 runs throughout the course of those matches.

In addition to this, Gill made his debut in County Cricket for Glamorgan, when he scored his first hundred runs against Sussex. This was his maiden century.
