Former Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh is known for his opinion from Babaki and when he advocates a player, something needs to be needed. This time Bhajji has advocated his own state player and captain of Indian Test team Shubman Gill before the Asia Cup 2025.
Bhajji believes that Shubman Gill can bat in any format. His statement came amid reports of Gill being out of the Asia Cup team. Gill played his previous T20 International match a year ago. Bhajji spoke of Gill’s continuous performance in the Indian Premier League (IPL) and talked about giving him a chance in the Asia Cup team.
Harbhajan quoted the Times of India as saying, “In the T20 format, it is important to understand that it is not just a matter of putting big shots. If Shubman takes an aggressive stance, he can compete with someone, because he is a very strong player with strong basic things. Bats with strong foundation can run in any format. He is wearing an orange cap and it is not a chance that he can bat only at a strike rate of 120 or 130, he can also bat at a strike rate of 160. ”
Speaking further, Bhajji said, “Yes, we have players like Abhishek Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Verma, but you cannot underestimate Shubman Gill. He is a very talented batsman who can mold in any format. They are all players of formats. In my opinion, he can play T20 and even we can make dominance in every form. You also need batsmen who can play long innings and save the team if needed. “
If we talk about Gill’s T20 International career, then he has scored 578 runs in 21 T20 international matches so far. In such a situation, it will now be interesting to see whether the selectors give Gill a chance in the Asia Cup team or will be long waiting for Gill.
