"As a kid, I watched him growing up"- Shubman Gill on batting along with Virat Kohli in 3rd ODI vs Sri Lanka
Young Indian batter Shubman Gill opened up about how he grew up watching Virat Kohli's batting. He stated that he enjoyed the experience of batting alongside the iconic player on Sunday. The opening batter also revealed that he wants to learn the art of converting hundreds into big ones from Kohli.
Speaking at the mid-innings break, Gill said:
"It's amazing what he does. As a kid, I watched him growing up. Seeing him live and to witness one more ODI century, going on to score 150 runs, it's just incredible what he does. (Learnings from him) Once you get a start, how to convert it into big scores. Once you get a hundred, how to convert those into 150-160s. There's definitely a lot to learn for all the batters."
