DTVHINDI“We are not wrongly giving him the status of ‘Prince’”- Why did Aakash Chopra give such a statement about Gill
Team India’s star batsman Shubman Gill is in great form these days. He recently scored a brilliant century in the second innings of the Test match played against Bangladesh at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. Gill was greatly applauded after that innings. Meanwhile, now former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra has made a big statement on Shubman Gill. Aakash Chopra believes that Shubman Gill has proved the ‘Prince’ tag right. Former India cricketer Aakash Chopra defended Gill, citing the number of centuries he has scored in international cricket since the start of 2020, which is actually more than the centuries scored by players like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. Aakash Chopra made a big statement in praise of Shubman Gill The former Indian cricketer further said, “Who has scored the most centuries for Team India this decade? This is very interesting. There was a tweet from CricCrazyJohns, and we said that we never realized this. He wrote about the most centuries for India in this decade in international cricket, “Shubman Gill has scored 12 centuries in 114 innings, it is absolutely phenomenal.” Chopra further added that the “Prince” nickname attached to Gill was not at all unfair, as he provided the exact stats of Rohit and Kohli in comparison to Gill. The former batsman further added that, “Rohit Sharma has played 148 innings in the same time frame and scored 10 centuries. Virat Kohli has played 149 innings and scored 10 centuries and both of them are our GOAT. So Shubman Gill is going way ahead with 12 centuries. We are not giving him the status of ‘Prince’ unfairly.” Chopra further said that according to him, Gill has come to Team India to set some big records because it seems like success has been added to his bloodstream. Chopra said, “It is in his DNA. I am saying that this guy is running towards greatness because he feels, in fact he is confident. If he tries to do something in his mind, greatness comes out. This is a very good story for Indian cricket.”
