Opening batsman, Shubman Gill responds perfectly to trolls and loads of criticism he faced in the first phase of the IPL. Here’s his stellar comeback in the tournament with a 48 off just 34 deliveries. Gill confirms he is here to stay with that fine work with the bat. He also took a catch against the Royal Challengers Bangalore in the first innings.

Firstly,  Kolkata Knight Riders’ opening batsman Shubhman Gill feels that his side can still manage to qualify for the playoffs in the remainder of the Indian Premier League. Secondly, In the first half of the IPL, Kolkata Knight Riders won just 2 out of 7 games. At present, they are placed on the 7th spot. Even though KKR is not at a good spot on the points table, Shubhman Gill is hopeful for the playoffs. Let’s just say that this positive attitude has allowed the KKR to get a victory off their first game. The Kolkata Knight Riders win by 9 wickets against the RCB.

Much credit needs to be due to Shubman Gill and debutant Venkatesh Iyer for today’s key role. Hoping that KKR can keep up similar momentum for the rest of the league too!
