NEW DELHI: Talented India opener Shubman Gill said his partnership with captain Rohit Sharma could prove vital in World Cup.
The pair are off to a prolific start together in ODI cricket, compiling 685 runs at 76.11 in the nine instances where they have opened together.
Taking out their only partnership together while not opening the batting, their average partnership jumps to 85.37.
“It feels great to be able to open with him, especially knowing that all the focus is on him,” Gill began, looking to Rohit’s presence in the eyes of opponents and fans.
“He’s someone who likes the other batters to go and just express himself and play the way I want to play the game.
“So in that nature, he gives the players full freedom for how they want to express their game,” Gill told www.icc-cricket.com.
