‘What An Incredible Player’: De Villiers Praises Shudman Gill For His Match-wining Ton
On the pivotal third day of the match, despite the early setbacks of losing two wickets with India precariously placed at 30/2, Gill remained undeterred, and with each elegant stroke, he went on to score 104 runs off 147 balls, including 11 fours and two sixes. It was his third century in Test cricket and his first while batting at the number three position for India. His partnership with Shreyas Iyer served as the backbone of India's innings, providing the stability that helped India set England a target of 399 in their second inning.
"He (Gill) came to Vizag and just showed the incredible character that the young man has got. What an incredible player. I don't know if he has worked on his technique at all or has anything changed, but it just shows you the talent he has got. In the second innings of a big Test match, that was a telling hundred and let me tell you, that was the difference between the two sides," said De Villiers on his YouTube channel.
