While stating this, the England spinner meant that when Kohli was 25 years old, his tally of hundreds had been almost matched by the now 25-year-old Indian skipper Gill. Shubman Gill played a great role in India's monumental 336-run win at Edgbaston.
"He's got the potential already. I've seen a stat; he's 25 but he's on par with Kohli already, when he was 25, in terms of centuries. Growing up in India, he's got to be used to that pressure in the IPL and playing in India," said Adil Rashid.
As a skipper in the IPL, Gill is often subjected to immense pressure in the league matches, and despite all, he has emerged as a successful captain, leading his side to the playoffs and scoring a flurry of runs himself.
"To captain an IPL team. He's taken over and to be able to captain, to deal with pressure of franchise cricket, with owners who have opinions on teams, your own performances. They spend a lot of money on the team and want the team to be performing. That will help him captaining India," said Malan.

He also praised Gill's sudden variability in Akash Deep's ends, which reflected on Shubman Gill's ability to be thoughtful and productive under different situations.
