Also, Harbhajan Singh said about Shubman Gill - You have to understand that the T20 format is not just about hitting the ball, and if Shubman Gill decides to hit, he is no less than anyone. The kind of batsman he is, his game is strong. His basics are strong and he can score runs on all sides of the field, no matter what the format is.
If you look at IPL, he has scored runs in every season. He wears the Orange Cap on his head, and you don't get it just like that. It's not like he bats at a strike rate of 120, he bats at a strike rate of 160, 150.
