IPL 2023: Following Shubman Gill’s brilliant century against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) on May 21, former Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh showered him with accolades. Notably, it was Gill’s century that enabled GT to secure two points and oust RCB from the playoff race.
The flashy Titans opener smashed an unbeatable 104 off 52 balls with a mind-blowing strike rate of 200.00 while smashing eight sixes and five boundaries. It is important to note that Gill, who has 680 runs in 14 games with two hundred and four half-centuries, is a contender for the IPL Orange Cap. In that vein, Harbhajan commented on his performance and compared him to former RCB captain Virat Kohli.
“Shubman Gill skillfully designs his innings. In contrast to Virat Kohli, who is passionate, he has his own personality and exudes a sleepy grace. Like Kohli, he can play all types of shots effortlessly, but his body language won’t be as aggressive. He has a distinctive personality. He’s such an upcoming star for India,” according to Harbhajan on Star Sports.
A proper batter, Kohli: Harbhajan Singh
Fascinatingly, Virat Kohli, a dashing right-hander, also elevated his bat to celebrate his century that same night. The batsman single-handedly propelled RCB to a respectable first-innings score of 197 by smashing an unbeaten 101 off 61. Harbhajan praised Kohli for being so focused on the technical aspects of his hitting, which has helped him become a “great batter.”
“Virat Kohli never attempts hazardous strokes; he always looks to play in the ‘V’. He is a terrific hitter because he uses appropriate cricketing strokes. Because of his excellent technique, Kohli is a legitimate hitter who can play in every game type, including Tests, Twenty20, or even Ten-over matches,” according to Harbhajan.
In a remarkable move, Kohli added a second century to his tally for the current season, surpassing Chris Gayle, a former colleague, who had the previous record of seven centuries in the top division. Even though he lost, Kohli enjoyed a strong season and will strive to keep up his excellent form in the next WTC Final.
