The legendary cricket player from India Sunil Gavaskar said that the 754 Shubman Gill races are much better than he achieved in 1971.Gill finished with 754 points, only 20 less than the Gavaskar record of 774, during the fifth test against England in London on August 3.“I think that in anticipation that he exceeds my album, I have something for him. But well, I mean, everything is in the hands of God. But 754 races, it’s fantastic,” he said on Sony Sports.“The difference is that 754 came with the additional responsibility to be a captain. I was the baby’s baby. You know, that would not have been of any importance if I had failed.“No one would have given a hoe if I had failed. But being the captain and scoring more than 750 points – more than 750 points where he makes a difference in fortune on his side. Do not go by these 20 races, but simply see what 754 did for Indian cricket. “”After the game of the day, Gavaskar presented to Gill a personalized shirt carrying his initials “SG” and a special dedicated cap.“I have a gift for you in anticipation of what you are going by (me). At least you have something to target in the following series. It’s just a small gift. It is a shirt with SG initials; someone made for me, and I give you this, but I don’t know if that will suit you.The match saw an impressive tactical display of Gill and Mohammed Siraj in the last moments of day 3. They executed an intelligent strategy by creating the field for a bouncer but rather delivered a Yorker who rejected Zak Crawley.Gavaskar expressed his admiration for the tactical game and made a promise concerning the game of the next day: “The latter was fantastic. Send a defensive player there but then Bowling the Yorker. Tomorrow, I’m going to wear my lucky jacket, which I wore in Australia – the white one during the Gabba test – the last day. “”
