Poll<\/p>\n

Do you believe Shubman Gill will become the next cricket superstar in India?<\/p>\n

“The start he\u2019s had now, with his captaincy and the runs he\u2019s made, he\u2019ll be the pin-up boy for sure. He\u2019s young, fresh, has the looks. Now is the time to cash in.”Gill, currently leading India in the Test series against England, has drawn attention for his batting as well as his composure under pressure, despite the on-field flare-up at Lord\u2019s.”He\u2019s calm,” Shastri said. “You saw him finger-pointing, but with exposure and time, I think he\u2019ll settle down.”Earlier in the same episode, Shastri also made headlines by revealing how much top Indian cricketers earn off the field.”They earn a lot through endorsements, for sure\u2026 upwards of Rs 100 crores (10 million pounds),” he revealed, stunning the panel.”Someone like Dhoni, Kohli, or Tendulkar in his pomp \u2014 they\u2019d do 15-20 ads a year. It\u2019s per day. They\u2019ll give you one day to shoot, and then that ad can be played out as many times as needed.”Shastri\u2019s comments underscore both the star power and market appeal of modern Indian cricketers \u2014 and, in his view, Shubman Gill is all set to carry that legacy forward into the next generation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NEW DELHI: Former India head coach and World Cup-winning all-rounder Ravi Shastri has tipped Shubman Gill to be…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":24704,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[1721,15621,12765,15620,15623,7054,101,56,54,55,15624,15622],"class_list":{"0":"post-24703","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-cricket","8":"tag-cricket","9":"tag-indian-cricket","10":"tag-ms-dhoni","11":"tag-ravi-shastri","12":"tag-sachin-tendulkar","13":"tag-shubman-gill","14":"tag-sports","15":"tag-uk","16":"tag-united-kingdom","17":"tag-unitedkingdom","18":"tag-virat-kohli","19":"tag-yashasvi-jaiswal"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24703","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24703"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24703\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/24704"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24703"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24703"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24703"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
