There is nothing quite like receiving praise from a bowler if you are a batter, and there is nothing quite like receiving praise from the famous Wasim Akram if you are a bowler. Akram has jumped on board the praise train for Shubman Gill, the Indian opening batter, and is praising him for his outstanding form. This comes as the Indian cricketing community is going crazy over the continuous performances of Shubman Gill. Even if there are some people who don’t want to compare Gill to Virat Kohli and Sachin Tendulkar just yet, Akram discovered some parallels between the prince and the god from the point of view of a bowler.
In a conversation that took place on Sportskeeda, Akram said that the bowlers who are now bowling to Gill would have the same emotion that he felt when he was bowling to Tendulkar while the latter was still actively playing cricket. Akram is of the opinion that in the not too distant future, Gill will not only be a superstar in Indian cricket but will also dominate the rankings of cricket players all over the world.
“When I bowl to a player like Gill, even in T20 format, it’s like I am bowling to Sachin Tendulkar in one-day cricket in the first 10 overs, when only two fielders were allowed (outside the 30-yard circle),” said the legendary Pakistani cricketer.
It didn’t matter whether I had to bowl to Jayasuriya or Kaluwitharna; I always felt I had a shot. They hit on each of the balls, so it won’t be hard for me to get them out. However, players like Sachin and Gill play strokes that are considered standard in cricket. In my opinion, he is the sort of player who is capable of scoring points consistently throughout all three game forms. He will one day be the most famous cricket player in the world.

Gill would need to immediately transition his emphasis to test cricket in order to compete against Australia in the final of the World Test Championship. This would be necessary after Gill made a lasting impact in the shortest version of the game, which was played for the Gujarat Titans in the IPL 2023.
Gill will almost certainly open the batting with Rohit Sharma now that KL Rahul has been ruled out. However, because of the difficult circumstances at the Oval, the batter will have a difficult time. It all depends on how soon he is able to adjust.
