Bangladesh vs India: Wasim Jaffer Names 'Next Big Batter' After Virat Kohli

Bangladesh vs India: Former India cricketer Wasim Jaffer believes Shubman Gill is going to be the next big batter for Indian cricket after Virat Kohli. Shubman was in some serious form during the first Test vs Bangladesh. The batter scored a terrific hundred.

"Well, it's good that it came. He missed out on a couple of opportunities before but I am happy that the monkey is off his back. He's a class player. After Virat Kohli, he'll probably be the next big batsman that's gonna come out of the Indian camp. He's like a three-format player for me," Jaffer said in a discussion on ESPNCricinfo.

Gill turns opportunity into success

Gill got the opportunity to play in the eleven after regular skipper Rohit Sharma was ruled out of the first Test after an injury.

"Shubman Gill has played in the middle order for his state team. He'll get used to it. As an opener, if you are slotted in the middle order, it's not a big deal because you're used to playing spin," he said.

“When the opportunities are few and far between that’s how you make it count. Congratulations on maiden Test ton,” Wasim Jaffer tweeted.

India dominate first Test vs Bangladesh

India avoided follow-on and declared the first innings at 258 with Gill and Cheteshwar Pujara scoring hundreds.

513 is the target for Bangladesh out of which they batted calmly and scored 42 runs in the fourth innings without losing a single wicket.
