ICC World Cup 2023: Yuvraj Singh backs this young talent to become the best player of this generation

ICC World Cup 2023: Former Indian cricketer Yuvraj Singh backed young batter Shubman Gill to be the best player of this generation. He said that the young batter has the potential to achieve great heights and can do wonders in the coming years. 

Ever since Shubman Gill has made his debut for India, he has set the world cricket on fire ever since he debuted for India. He has asserted his authority in all three formats of the game and has become India?s mainstay in all three formats of the game even at such a young age. 

Especially with the ICC World Cup 2023 around the corner, Shubman Gill will be one of the most important players for India. With the way he has batted in ODIs, this is something that has been enthralling. He has been in the red hot form and is the leading run-getter in the ODIs this year.

Shubman Gill has smashed 5 centuries in the format this year and with the kind of platform he has given to the team in every game will be crucial for India going into the ICC World Cup 2023.

Speaking to the Week, Yuvraj Singh said: "Shubman Gill has the potential to become the best player of this generation".
