Watch – Shubman Gill Receives Standing Ovation From Sara Tendulkar For Brilliant Knock
Shubman Gill scored 92 runs off 92 balls, with 11 fours and 2 sixes, before getting dismissed and he looked dejected after missing out on a ton
Shubman Gill received a standing ovation from Sara Tendulkar at the renowned Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai for his outstanding performance against the Sri Lanka National Cricket Team during the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023.
Gill was a highly anticipated participant in the ICC Cricket World Cup in India, and numerous former cricketers placed their bets on him to conclude as the tournament's leading run scorer.Although the opening batsman has been in sensational form in 2023, he has not performed at his peak during the World Cup. Dengue prevented him from participating in the competition for a few matches, but upon his return, he accumulated four-match totals of 16, 53, 26, and 9.
Nevertheless, he performed exceptionally well against Sri Lanka and gave his all during the match. Gill, despite losing his opening partner Rohit Sharma in the very first over, maintained his composure and formed an extraordinary partnership with Virat Kohli.
