Abhishek Sharma Hails Shubman Gill as a Rare Talent Across Formats

Indian cricketer Abhishek Sharma has lavished praise on Shubman Gill, calling him one of the finest all-format players India has ever seen. The statement comes at a time when Gill continues to impress with his performances in Tests, ODIs, and T20s, both in international cricket and the IPL.

Speaking after a recent IPL match, Abhishek expressed deep admiration for Gill’s versatility and consistency. “Whether it’s a long Test match or a high-pressure T20 game, Shubman always delivers. He’s one of those players who can switch formats without any trouble,” said Abhishek.

Gill has been in fantastic form this season, especially as the captain of Gujarat Titans in IPL 2025. His calm presence at the crease and ability to anchor innings or accelerate when needed have made him a key player for his franchise and country. Many experts believe that his classical technique combined with modern-day shot-making gives him an edge over many of his peers.

Abhishek, who has played alongside Gill since their junior cricket days, said it’s no surprise to him how far Gill has come. “I’ve seen him work hard since we were kids. He’s focused, disciplined, and always hungry to improve. What he’s doing now is just a result of that mindset,” he added.

Fans across the country have also noticed how Gill has become a dependable name in Indian cricket, handling the pressures of international matches with maturity beyond his age. With major tournaments ahead, including the T20 World Cup, Shubman Gill is expected to be one of India’s main pillars across all formats.

Abhishek’s praise is just another reminder of how highly Gill is regarded not just by fans and former players, but also by his own teammates who’ve seen his journey up close.
