During a question-and-answer session by way of #AskStar, Shastri picked Gill because the one with a capability to surpass Kohli, including that opening the batting helps immensely in scoring further runs.
“He has to be an opening batsman, because only then will he get many opportunities to score runs. I feel, it is Shubman Gill because he is in good form and also because he plays at the top of the order. So he will get a good number of opportunities to score runs.
“The pitches are good, so if he can rating 80-100 runs consecutively in two or three innings, then at that time of time solely he’ll have already got 300-400 runs.
“According to me, it is very difficult to break the record, because 900 plus runs is huge but one thing is opening batsmen will get two extra matches and two extra innings, so opening batsmen can only break this record if it is possible,” Shastri stated.
Jos Buttler and David Warner observe Kohli within the single season top-scorers’ chart with 863 and 848 runs respectively.
