He recalled how Gill’s performance against fast throwdown experts impressed coach Ravi Shastri. The surprising fact came through a video shared by Star Sports on their X platform. During the 2010s Sanjay Bangar had served multiple terms with the Indian coaching team.
Sanjay Bangar told “The first glimpse of Shubham Gill we had during his first net session for India, there is a tradition in India that during the nets session, if you want that approval you you will have to do well against throwdown specialists, who bowl really fast. And unhone uss nets session mein, jo ek screen test hota hena, aise patakhe bajaye the. Ravi Shastri was like, ek taiyaar player mil gaya humein. Such was his first impact,”
