Australian opener Travis Head has called Shubhman Gill to be the next super star player for the country.
Though Steve Smith, Mitchell Starc, Nathan Lyon, Josh Hazlewood and Alex Carey named Yashasvi Jaiswal to be the next rising star, Travis stated that Shubhman will be ‘an absolute freak’.
“Some of his (Gill’s) innings I have seen. He makes bowling look slow. Plays off the front and back foot well, plays spin well. Shubhman is gonna be an absolute freak,” Travis said in a video posted by Star Sports Tamil.

Travis had earlier expressed that even after their dominance in the last decade with two consecutive series wins on Australian grounds, India are not favourites when talking about conquering the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
“I don’t feel like they’re my favourite. I just feel like we play them enough, play them lots. And, I guess the last couple of years I’ve been in nice form. So yeah, being able to, to play well, it’s always nice,” Travis said.
