"Best Player Of This Generation": Yuvraj Singh's Massive Prediction For India Star

Former India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh believes that the country's star batter Shubman Gill has the potential to become the best player of this generation. Gill is surely one of the rising superstars of Indian cricket. The 24-year-old is among the best batters the Indian team has. However, it seems that Gill's own best is yet to come as his batting graph continues to rise with time. The right-handed batter was the top run-scorer during India's recently-concluded three-match ODI series against Australia.

"Coaches Are Doing...": KL Rahul's Honest Take On Missed Catches

India vs Australia, 2nd ODI: India Seal Series After Sublime Hundreds From Shubman Gill, Shreyas Iyer Script Win

Shubman Gill showed his insatiable hunger for runs with fifth hundred of the year while Shreyas Iyer hit a timely ton under pressure to set up a series sealing 99-run win for India in the second ODI against Australia on Sunday. Gill (104 off 97 balls) and Iyer (105 off 90 balls) shared a stroke-filled 200-run stand off 164 balls before Suryakumar Yadav (72 not out off 37 balls) unleashed carnage to fire India to 399 for five, the hosts' highest total against Australia in ODIs.

India vs Australia: Shreyas Iyer Settles Middle-Order Debate Ahead Of Cricket World Cup 2023 With Timely Century

India might be treating the ongoing ODIs against Australia as a warm-up exercise before the World Cup but Shreyas Iyer had all to play for going into the three-match series. The 28-year-old has had to deal with his share of injuries since making his international debut back in 2017. The Asia Cup that India won marked his comeback from a back surgery after six months but a back spasm in the middle of the tournament meant he only got to bat once over the course of two weeks. Considering what he has gone through the year, especially the range of emotions in the last one month, a third ODI hundred could not have come at a better time for him. Iyer was India's designated number four before the injury pegged him back and a virtual no show in the Asia Cup meant his place in the playing eleven was far from secure.

India's Predicted XI vs Australia, 2nd ODI: Will Shreyas Iyer Get Another Chance?

After clinching victory in the first ODI, Team India will face Australia in the second ODI match on Sunday in Indore. The KL Rahul-led team registered a thumping five-wicket win over the visitors in the first on Friday, where Mohammed Shami registered a five-wicket haul. Later, Team India chased down the target of 277 with two balls to spare. Ruturaj Gaikwad and Shubman Gill played a knock of 71 and 74 runs, respectively. Shreyas Iyer will be desperate for some runs after missing out on a flat track while the skillful R Ashwin will be searching for wickets.
