Gary Kirsten On Shubman Gill: Indian batsman Shubman Gill was seen in great form playing for Gujarat Titans in IPL 2023. Gill was the highest run-scorer in the tournament. While recovering, Shubman Gill is often compared to veterans Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli. Gary Kirsten, former South African veteran and mentor of Gujarat Titans spoke on this.
