Former Indian captain Kris Srikkanth has emphasized the importance of young opening batsman Shubman Gill's consistent performance in diverse cricketing conditions globally to meet international cricket expectations. Srikkanth compared Gill with India run machine Virat Kohli to be a successful cricketer, stating that Gill must score runs overseas and not just in the sub-continent. This is crucial for Gill's success in international cricket, as he is expected to fulfill expectations in the longer format too.
