Jimmy Neesham Made A Big Statement About Shubman Gill’s Blank Bat: When Shubman Gill marked his arrival with his heroics at the Under-19 World Cup in 2018, everyone knew that the talented batsman from Punjab will represent team India for the national side. And he did, January 19, 2021, this date will be etched in history as the day when he truly arrived at the senior level.
On Day 5 of the fourth and the final Test match at the Gabba, Shubman Gill played a powerful performance and gave India the much-needed momentum with his solid knock of 91 runs, which was glorified by 8 fours and 2 stunning maximums.
His knock played an instrumental role in helping India create history at the Gabba on Tuesday. Shubman emerged out to be the fourth-highest run-scorer for the team in the four-match test series.
Soon after his knock, #ShubmanGill was trending across all social media sites. While everyone praised him for his knock, New Zealand’s cricketer Jimmy Neesham took to his social media and claimed that Gill won’t have a blank bat for long. He wrote:
“I don’t think Shubman will have a blank bat for long #AUSvIND”
