After missing several scoring chances early in his career, the right-hander finally ended the blockade when he earned his first cap in his ODI match against Zimbabwe. Since then, the young man has added another 300 in the last two months. One is a test and two are his ODI.
Even after scoring his first 100 in a test against Bangladesh last month, his father Rakhwinder Gill was not happy with his departure. He felt he had enough time to double his 100 and make an even bigger impact in the game.
u201cRakwinder Purge always had high hopes for Shubmann. We all had that since he was a kid. I hope Raquwinder Purge is happy today, Mann said. Like most fathers, Shubman Gill’s father made many sacrifices in order for his son to fulfill his dream of playing cricket at the highest level.
Shubmann’s father always had high hopes for his son. He always taught him to push his limits and strive for his excellence.
From the day he started playing competitive cricket at his early age, he always scolded him for not estimating his wickets. In that sense, he was the quintessential Indian parent who always wanted his children to be the best.
Being his first coach, he knew what his son was capable of. That’s why he didn’t teach him to take things for granted and put a high price tag on the wicket every time he went to bat.
It was his father’s rebuke that pushed him to the limit, and the consequences are plain to see.
