"Keen To Help Him Grow...": Virat Kohli On Shubman Gill Ahead Of World Test Championship Final
Playing down tags such as 'king' and 'prince', Virat Kohli on Tuesday said he is keen to help Shubman Gill, considered heir apparent to the former captain, "grow and understand his potential" for the benefit of Indian cricket. Kohli said he communicates a lot with the 23-year-old batting sensation Gill, who has shot to prominence in all three formats of the game over the last 12 months, adding that both players respect each other. After a record-breaking IPL season with Gujarat Titans, wherein Gill finished with 890 runs — second highest for any batter after Kohli's 973 runs in 2016 — the young India and Gujarat Titans opener is being touted for greater achievements.
