Gill has described this 15-year-old young batsman of Rajasthan Royals as one of the best batsmen in the world in T20 format, which is the biggest compliment ever for this young player.

Just 24 hours before this, both these players had stolen the show in a very exciting match of Qualifier 2. However, thanks to Gill’s brilliant 104 runs, Gujarat won the match by 7 wickets and made it to the finals, but Suryavanshi’s stormy innings of 96 runs once again won everyone’s hearts.

‘I have never seen such a batsman’

While talking about this amazing journey of Suryavanshi, Gill openly admitted that he has rarely seen any batsman destroying the bowlers like this.

According to him, this young player’s way of playing (biomechanics) and bat speed (bat speed) make him completely different from other players. ‘It is not just about hitting fours and sixes, but no matter who the opposition team is, their style of play and their hand-speed is amazing.’

Suryavanshi showcased this quality in Qualifier 2. When the fast bowlers of Gujarat bowled tightly in the beginning and did not give them a chance to play freely, then this 15 year old boy not only handled the innings but also kept Rajasthan in the match with his fearless style.

the ability to bounce back under pressure

Gill said that this ability to adapt and counterattack in moments of pressure is as amazing as his runs. ‘Today he did not get the same stormy start, but despite this, the way he came back in the match and maintained pressure on us, shows his strong mindset.’ This left-handed batsman was finally out after scoring 96 runs. After scoring 97 in the eliminator, he missed a century for the second consecutive playoff match. Despite this, his innings helped Rajasthan recover from the initial setbacks and reach a strong score of 214/6.

Gill feels that it is going to be more difficult for the bowlers to stop Suryavanshi in the times to come. ‘I think that in the coming years, it will be a big challenge for the bowlers of whichever team plays against him to stop him.’ This explosive season of Suryavanshi has made cricket legends from all over the world his admirers. These words of Shubhman Gill have added to that praise. This 15-year-old boy has done what no one would have imagined in this season in franchise cricket of this level.
