Shubman Gill got some much-needed momentum in the previous game against Netherlands as the right-handed batter notched up a quickfire fifty. However, his real test will be against the quality Kiwi pacers in the semifinal of the ICC ODI World Cup 2023.
Meanwhile, in this post, we will take a look at Shubman Gill’s stats at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai in the ODI, T20I, Test, and IPL.
The youngster is yet to play a Test match at this venue.
The Punjab-born lad missed the first couple of matches because of dengue and post his return, he took a couple of games to get into his groove. However, in the previous game, he looked at his best after smashing a half-century off 30 deliveries.
Shubman Gill has scored 270 runs in 7 matches at an average of 38.57 and a strike rate of 104.65. The right-handed batter has also notched up three half-centuries so far.
Gill will have to convert his start into a big score against the Blackcaps in the semifinal. With Rohit Sharma exploding on the other end, Gill could take his time to settle down at the crease.
The prince of Indian cricket must be feeling confident as the Wankhede surface suits his batting style and he already has scored a double century against them. Shubman Gill is a vital cog to the current Indian team and the stage is set for the youngster as he could etch his name into the history books by playing a big knock in the semifinals.
