Former Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Ramiz Raja compared Shubman Gill to his captain, Rohit Sharma. As the Indian team's new opening pair in white-ball cricket, the duo has formed a solid partnership.
They have already shared multiple 100-run partnerships at the top, with selectors preferring Gill to an experienced Shikhar Dhawan as the opener for the ODI World Cup.
