Ravi Shastri, while talking to Star Sports, praised the 22-year-old boy openly. He said that Gill is a very talented player and he is made for this format.
Shastri said, ‘He is a pure talent. To be honest, this player is included in the most talented players of India and the world. Once he gets the momentum, the runs come easily. He has that gut, he has time and he plays with all his might. The good thing is that he plays a lot of ground shots. He is made for this format of the game. His shot selection, changing strikes and the way he talks to himself is excellent. Even today he played very few dot balls. This reduces the pressure. He bats very well in front of the short pitch ball as well. The short-arm jab, which he hit in this innings, was excellent. This innings will benefit him a lot.

Gill’s innings helped the Titans reach a score of 171 for six in 20 overs. After this, Lockie Ferguson helped his team win by taking four wickets for 28 runs. Delhi Capitals lost this match by 14 runs. This was the second win this season for Titans, who had defeated Lucknow Super Giants in their first match.
Gill had said after his innings, ‘I enjoyed playing this innings. It’s always nice to contribute for myself and the team. I didn’t realize that I played so few dot balls. But actually my plan was something like this. I wanted to keep changing strikes. My aim was to steal a run whenever I got a chance.
