Iyer had the best seat in the house to watch Gill from close quarters and was pleased to see the youngster make the most of his rich form.

Iyer was able to hit the ground running and Gill showered praise on his teammate for changing the momentum of the game.

“The way he came in and took on the charge changed the momentum for us,” said Gill on BCCI’s video.

Iyer also heaped praise on Shubman Gill for continuing his form and getting the job done for the team.

“He has been sensational throughout. The way he’s been converting starts into big scores in simply outstanding. Just to watch him play those strokes was mesmerizing from the opposite end. From the bottom of my heart, I hope he keeps continuing this journey and keep winning matches for India,” said Iyer.
