India’s young cricketing superstar Shubman Gill was recently seen in action during the five-match Test series against England. The right-handed batter came under fire for his series of poor performances at the No.3 position but he ensured to pick up lessons on the go and impressed everyone with pretty good performances. He finished the Test series as the second-leading run-scorer with 452 runs in five games at an average of 56.50.
He drew plaudits for assessing the conditions and going about his business in the series, smashing two centuries and two fifties. Case in point, the youngster hogged the limelight after he was spotted playing cricket with popular English singer Ed Sheeran. For the record, he is well-known for his acoustic guitar-based songs and hit singles such as Shape of You, Perfect and Thinking Out Loud.
