Shubman Gill from Gujarat Titans declared his third century of the season “probably” the best of his IPL career. The polished opener believes his technical adjustments to his batting have paid off spectacularly.
Shubman exuded the confidence of a man at the top of his game, ready to respond to whatever the Mumbai Indians threw at him. When he walked off to a standing ovation after a 60-ball 129, it was clear that another chapter in Gill’s T20 reinvention had been written.
Gill’s batting is a series of simple batting movements; one frame transitions into the next. A stable base, a still head, a slight and unexaggerated back lift, and rapid but leisurely foot movement. It’s all according to the coaching guidebook. But, most of all, there’s the composure – he can send the ball wherever he wants.
