"I think Shubman is doing very well and is performing consistently. I believe he is a strong contender to open for India in the 2023 World Cup," Yuvraj told news agency PTI. Indian opener Gill was a star turnout for the Shikhar Dhawan-led Team India in New Zealand. Opener Gill amassed 108 runs for Team India in the three-match ODI series against the Black Caps.

"Shubman is very hardworking and is doing all the right things. I believe he is destined for greatness in the next 10 years," Yuvraj added. Despite an impressive run in the ODI series, opener Gill was not named in India's squad for the Bangladesh tour.

Gill has played 11 Tests and 15 ODIs for the Men In Blue. The 23-year-old has scored 687 runs for India in the 50-over format. The Punjab batter has accumulated 579 runs in 11 Test matches for Team India. The Gujarat Titans (GT) opener made his ODI debut for India against New Zealand at the Seddon Park in 2019.
