India vs New Zealand: Sanjay Bangar hails Shubman Gills for ‘tremendous mix of caution and aggression’

Written by Toshi Pawar

India batter Shubman Gill scored a sensational century against New Zealand, in the third T20I match of the series. Playing the decider in Ahmedabad, Shubman hit a century off 54 balls, becoming the youngest India player to score a ton in the format. 

Speaking at the mid-innings break, former India player Sanjay Bangar said that Shubman showed a tremendous mix of caution and aggression in his innings. Bangar lauded the youngster after his sensational century and said that the world is going to see a lot of him in the coming years.

“He showed caution in the first part of the innings and then the brutal part, the second half of the innings, he had a tremendous mix of caution and aggression. He is not somebody who has believes in those fancy strokes. He has played cricketing shots, targeted straight of the ground or towards mid-wicket, square leg or covers. He has been brilliant to watch,” Bangar told the host broadcaster Star Sports.

“This is the new generation. And the kind of power Shubman possesses, the positions that he gets in helps him score runs without even breaking a sweat. You are going to see a lot of him in the coming years,” he further added.
