Yuvraj Singh Says Shubman Gill Is 'One Step Ahead' of Abhishek Sharma

In a new interview, he links Gill’s patience to greater consistency compared with Sharma’s risk-heavy approach.

Overview

  • Yuvraj Singh told Kevin Pietersen he began mentoring Shubman Gill and Abhishek Sharma just before the COVID period.
  • He described Gill as "one step ahead" and "four times more hardworking" than the average cricketer.
  • Yuvraj said he put Sharma on a four-year development plan and noted the batter debuted for India exactly four years and three months later.
  • He contrasted Gill’s habit of giving himself time with Sharma’s aggressive T20 intent and urged Sharma to remove unnecessary risk to improve consistency.
  • He voiced a broader concern that modern T20 batting often does not put a price on the wicket, saying today’s players show little fear of getting out.
