Virender Sehwag made Prithvi Shaw think about his competitors by saying, “He’s got out playing shots like that a lot.” But shouldn’t he also learn from his mistakes? Shaw is still having difficulty in the IPL compared to Shubman Gill, who they both played U-19 cricket with and is now a Test, ODI, and T20 player for India.He needs to score runs and make the most of this IPL opportunity. In a single IPL season, 600 runs were scored by Ruturaj Gaikwad. Moreover, Shubman Gill scored fast runs. Thus, Shaw will also need to equal his IPL totals, according to the former Indian opener.
Shubman has been having a good stretch in his career and has performed admirably thus far as an opener. With India in all three formats, he has been in terrific form. He played 13 Test matches and amassed 736 runs at an average of 32. For his recent accomplishments on the international circuit, Gill has garnered plaudits from all across the world. He recently struck a massive amount of runs in the Australia Test in Ahmedabad.
