Shubman has shown he has technique to bat at any position: Tendulkar

Mumbai | Saturday | 4th December, 2021

Summary:

Mumbai, Dec 4 (PTI) Shubman Gill has the required technique and temperament to bat at any position in the Indian Test team but he does need to convert those great starts into big knocks, the legendary Sachin Tendulkar said about the upcoming star.

Gill scored 52 in the Kanpur Test against New Zealand and was out to Kyle Jamieson when he looked good for a hundred while in Mumbai.

He looked unperturbed on 44 before he got out to left-arm spinner Ajaz Patel.

So does Tendulkar believe that Gill has the technique to do well in South Africa if he bats in middle order? "When it comes to technique, different surfaces will test you differently.

I think Shubman has an advantage as he played a very crucial innings (91) in Brisbane where we won the Test match," Tendulkar told PTI in an interaction.

"He has had the experience of playing on hard and bouncy tracks and I felt that he looked pretty comfortable.
