“Gill will surpass my 400* and 501* world records.” Brian Lara calls him the most gifted hitter of the current generation

Shubman Gill, dubbed the “most talented batter of new generation” by Brian Lara, has the potential to shatter many world records and amass over 400 runs in a single Test innings.

It’s designed to break records. Indeed. However, some appear indestructible. similar to the 100 international centuries of Sachin Tendulkar. Eight hundred Test wickets for Mutthaiah Muralitharan. Brian Lara’s 400 on the test was his best score. The highest ODI score of 264 for Rohit Sharma. But Lara thinks that record might be surpassed. In a time when 400+ team scores in a Test innings are starting to become rare, Lara identified the batsman who has the best chance of surpassing his world record individual score in addition to saying that it is possible.

The legendary player from the West Indies said that gifted Indian batsman Shubman Gill has the potential to score over 400 runs in a Test match. In a Test match against England in 2004, Lara became the first and, to date, the only cricket player to reach the 400 mark. In first-class cricket, he also has the record for the highest individual score. Back in 1994, the left-hander had scored an undefeated 501 for Warwickshire against Durham in a County Championship encounter.

Gill might shatter both of his impressive accomplishments, according to Lara. Lara said to Anandabazar Patrika, “Shubman Gill can break both my records.” Gill is the most gifted batsman among the current group, according to the former West Indies skipper. “Among this new crop of batters, Gill is the most gifted. Over the next several years, he will dominate cricket. I think he’ll go on to shatter a lot of important records,” he said.

Gill hasn’t had the ideal start to his Test career despite being the youngest Indian to achieve a century in all game types and the youngest person to record a double hundred in an ODI. With only one century to his credit, he has amassed 966 runs at an average of 32 in 18 games. But he’s just 24 years old and has his finest years still to come.

Lara said, “He (Gill) can do it (break my records).”

Gill’s ODI career has gotten off to a scorching start. In only 38 innings, he became the quickest player to reach 2000 runs in 50-over cricket. With a 61.37 format average, the right-hander has already hammered six centuries. However, he was unable to light up the stage in the just-finished ODI World Cup. However, Lara thinks Gill will help India win a lot of ICC events in the next years.

In the World Cup, Gill did not score a century, but consider the blows he has previously sustained. In addition to smashing a double century in ODIs and playing several match-winning runs in the IPL, he has hundreds in all other forms of cricket. He’ll definitely compete in a lot more ICC events in the future, he said.

“Have you observed Gill’s style of charging down the fast bowlers?” Lara

The famous cricketer said that Gill’s batting style was the feature of the young player that most attracted Lara’s interest. “He hits with incredible finesse. I really believe in him. Have you seen how he lunges for the seamers on the track? Amazing,” said Lara.

Even if Gill is very talented, isn’t it a little ridiculous that he can score over 400 in Test cricket and more than 500 in a single first-class cricket wicket?

“Gill can shatter my 501* if he plays County cricket. In cricket tests, he can undoubtedly surpass 400. Batting in particular has seen significant alteration in cricket. Batters compete in global T20 leagues. Everything has altered because of the IPL. The rate of scoring has increased. Thus, you will continue to see high scores. Mark my words: Shubman is going to score big “Lara said.

Gill began his Test cricket career as an opener, but he recently moved up to No. 3 as India chose to consider options other than Cheteshwar Pujara. In the South Africa trip, Gill will have a difficult task as India’s third player.
