Shubman Gill’s batting masterpiece during the first One Day International (ODI) between India and New Zealand on Wednesday left former Indian cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar speechless. At the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad, Gill struck a magnificent knock to secure India’s thrilling victory over New Zealand in the series opener. Gill took the New Zealand bowlers to task. Manjrekar gave the in-form batsman additional attention and even mentioned MS Dhoni’s six-hitting skills in one of his most recent tweets.
During the high-scoring match between the 2019 World Cup semifinalist teams, former India cricketer Manjrekar shared his thoughts on Dhoni on Twitter. In the same tweet, the current pundit and former Indian cricketer made a significant claim regarding opener Gill. “When I first saw Dhoni, I knew he would be reliable when it comes to big-hitting because he primarily hit straight sixes. Gill also possesses a gift. “Fingers crossed for him,” tweeted Manjrekar.
When I saw Dhoni the first time that he mostly hit straight sixes told me that he will be consistent when it comes to big hitting. Gill has the same gift. Fingers crossed for him. 🤞
