Gill has been in tremendous form in 2023, scoring his maiden T20I hundred against New Zealand in Ahmedabad, registering the highest individual score by an Indian in the format at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. At the same venue, Gill also reached his maiden Test century, against Australia.

Gill, at the start of the year, had also become the youngest batter to score an ODI double hundred, which also came against New Zealand in Hyderabad.

“It’s incredible, he makes the game look very easy. I think he has got so much time at the crease. I mentioned it early on in the season that he is my dad’s favourite player. Probably about 3 years ago, I was like ‘what are you seeing in him?’. Now I know what he saw in him. Very exciting talent for Indian cricket. I can’t wait to watch him in all 3 formats for India. He has got the potential and the skill to really get good numbers in the future,” AB de Villiers told JioCinema on Friday.

“We saw that hundred against RCB. I watched it from home and I got very excited. What is the most exciting about that hundred is the strike rate. If you get a 100 in around 50 balls, you are more likely to win the game for the team,” he added.
