"Next Sensation For India": Ex-England Skipper's Heartwarming Praise For Shubman Gill

Former England captain Nasser Hussain has picked two youngsters who he feels will be the future legends of world cricket. In a video posted by the International Cricket Council (ICC), Hussain revealed his picks -- star India opener Shubman Gill and New Zealand all-rounder Rachin Ravindra. "I am going with Shubman Gill. I think he had a very good three quarters, nine-tenths of 2023. He must have learned so much from having the likes of Rohit Sharma on the other end. Maybe that illness towards the end just got him a little bit and his form dipped. He is a super talent and he is going to be the next sensation for India for years to come. Hopefully, he will have a good 2024," said Hussain.
