Abhishek scored 74 runs in 39 balls while Gill added 47 runs in 28 balls.
Suryakumar said after a six -wicket win, “This is a combination like fire and ice. Both complement each other and this is what I want to see. If one is batting tremendously, then the second one can rotate the role of the assistant. We needed a good start and both gave him that. In Punjab, Abhishek and Gill, who have been playing with under 12 days in Punjab, know each other’s game well and change the lands according to the opportunity. Suryakumar believes that a good friendship outside the field is also reflected in mutual understanding on the field. The captain said that “It is important to be a good friend outside the field because when you are starting the innings, then this understanding is very important, a gesture of a look is enough to take a run.” When these two bat together, their friendship is seen.
During the Korona period, the two were at Yuvraj Singh’s house in Chandigarh and used to practice together. Suryakumar said about Abhishek, Abhishek bats quite selfless. He plays aggressive in the powerplay and even then he knows what is necessary. He is learning the match rate match by assessing the situation, he never misses the practice. Regarding Gill, he said, “Everyone knows about Shubman what a player he is. I will only say that he knows how to make runs. Today, by relying on his shots, he took the risk less.
