Glimpse of the ramp shot by Shubman Gill© Twitter
India batter Shubman Gill, who gained a lot of praise with his maiden international century against Zimbabwe, during a three-match ODI series, has been stealing the spotlight in the ongoing County Championship, as well. Playing for Glamorgan, Gill smashed an unbeaten 91 off 102 balls, on Day 1 of the clash against Sussex. Apart from his knock, another thing which caught everyone’s attention was the perfect shot selection by the Indian batter, which is now going viral on social media.
From sweep to ramp shots, Gill portrayed a variety of shots in his course of 91* runs. The batter brilliantly placed a ramp shot over the slip to snatch a six, on Pakistan’s Faheem Ashraf‘s delivery. Later, he effortlessly placed a four over mid-wicket on Bradley Currie‘s delivery.
