'Tall fast bowlers offer us a little bit more: Shubman Gill'

India captain Shubman Gill said tall fast bowlers give the team an added advantage in its attack. He spoke after India completed a 3-0 ODI series sweep against Afghanistan. Gill also pointed to the top-order contributions that supported the bowlers during the series.

Yashasvi Jaiswal scored an unbeaten 110 in the final match to help secure the clean sweep. The innings allowed Jaiswal to move past records previously held by Virat Kohli and Gill in a key ODI metric. Prasidh Krishna delivered strong figures in the series and earned praise for his performance.

Gill noted the team's focus on developing tall pacers such as Gurnoor Brar, Prasidh Krishna and Harshit Rana. He connected this direction to the squad's planning for the 2027 ODI World Cup. The remarks came amid questions on India's opening pair and Rohit Sharma's future role ahead of the England tour.
