“I definitely see him having the potential of becoming someone as big as Virat Kohli or Sachin Tendulkar. I certainly think he has got the stuff. He is a phenomenal player who is in exceptional form and is playing some exceptional cricket at the moment,” Uthappa said while doing commentary on Jio Cinema. Gill recently became the youngest Indian to score a double century in ODI cricket. The 23-year-old has a hundred in T20Is as well.

Uthappa then shifted the topic and also talked about Yashasvi Jaiswal. The left-hander has been in sizzling form in IPL 2023.

Uthappa talked about what the composition of the Indian Team will look like in the 2023 World Cup. He said that the team management will not look to change combinations on the ODI setup and blood youngsters straightaway. The former India cricketer pointed out that there will be a slew of changes that will happen after the 2023 ODI World Cup ends.
“From my experience with the Indian team, I feel they will continue with the experienced players because making wholesale changes this close to the World Cup is not wise. ย Having said that, I feel post the World Cup we might see wholesale changes. He added. India will play the 2023 ODI World Cup on home soil.
Let us take a look at the reactions on Twitter:
All these statements are BS. For a player to be that big they need to play hundreds of international matches excl T20i. Sachin and VK didnโt become ๐ by playing t20 cricket. International cricket will soon die and no player will be able to reach those heights. #Gill
