Shubman Gill is one of the rising stars in world cricket and his numbers in ODI cricket are getting better and better with each passing game. The right-handed batter scored runs in all games against England recently, and started off Champions Trophy with a hundred against Bangladesh.

Shubman Gill Shows His Class Against Pakistan!

Now, in a high-octane encounter against Pakistan, the Prince of Indian cricket is once again showing his class and is playing some lovely shot all over the ground. In the seventh over of India's innings, Shubman Gill hit three boundaries against Shaheen Afridi. The last of those fours was a lovely straight drive down the ground. 

It was a full delivery on off and Gill with his eyes still lunged forward to hit it past the bowler for a boundary. It was a kind of shot that brought back memories of great Sachin Tendulkar's straight drive and it would surely make him proud.

Indian fans would be hoping that Shubman Gill continues his good start and produce another big one in a crunch game. India are chasing the target of 242 after the bowlers delivered in the first half on a pitch that has good help for the tweakers. Kuldeep Yadav grabbed three while Hardik took two and it was Saud Shakeel's ffity that helped Pakistan get to a respectable total.

Rohit started off with a bang, but departed on 20 with Shaheen Afridi producing an absolute beauty. Virat Kohli is now at the crease along with Shubman Gill and it would be interesting to see how they go about their chase in a high-pressure game.
