Making his captaincy debut in this series, Shubman Gill scored a stunning hundred in Leeds. That marked his first ever hundred in SENA countries in the red-ball format, and just around 2 weeks from then, the Indian batter now has 3 hundreds in England. It also comprises the historic 269 runs at Edgbaston.
Speaking to RevSportz, Sourav Ganguly claimed Shubman Gill's batting performance as one of the best innings witnessed by him on English soil. He mentioned that in his years of playing as well as watching cricket, he has never seen such an authoritative innings in England.
"He is simply flawless. There are no chinks in his armour and the English bowlers don't look like getting him out. See the way he is batting, and you will know what I am saying. Gill isn't making a single mistake. He was always pleasing to the eye.
Ganguly dethroned Virat Kohli's historic 2018 heroics
In praising Shubman Gill's impact, Sourav Ganguly unintentionally dethroned former Indian Test skipper Virat Kohli from the top position for his stellar knocks in the England series back in 2018.
Though Rahul Dravid still tops the list of Indian batters with the most runs in a Test series in England, with 602 runs, which he scored during the 2002 series. Shubman Gill is not far away, having scored 585 runs in just two games, and there are three more matches yet to be played in the series.
Ganguly praises Akash Deep with 'Shami-like' comparison
The rising star of Indian fast bowling, Akash Deep, has been all over the internet for his dominant performance at Edgbaston. His 10-wicket haul marked the second such feat by an Indian bowler since Chetan Sharma in 1986.
"Very Shami, isn't he," said Ganguly, all praise. "He was just fantastic, Akash Deep. The way he used the crease, the way he ran in and the amount of swing he got was brilliant."
"He reminded me of Mohammed Shami at his very best. The delivery to Joe Root, for example, would have got any batter in the world out."
