West Indies legend Brian Lara heaped massive praise on India star opener Shubman Gill and branded him as the most talented player of the new generation.
Lara, who holds the record for the highest Test individual score of 400* against England in 2004, touted Gill to break his record.
“Shubman Gill has the potential to surpass both my records. He is the most gifted batter of this new generation and is poised to dominate cricket in the upcoming years. I have confidence that he will set and break numerous significant records in his career.”
Lara also holds the record for an unbeaten 501 in a County Championship match for Warwickshire against Durham in 1994. Meanwhile, Gill became the youngest Indian to score a century in all formats. He also is the youngest player to score a double hundred in ODIs.
“Gill may not have scored a century in the World Cup, but if you look at the innings he has already played, he has centuries in all formats. He smashed a double hundred in ODIs and has delivered several match-winning performances in the IPL. I am confident that he will shine in many ICC tournaments in the future.”
