The former KKR all-rounder believes that Gill, who is recently been appointed as the captain of Gujarat Titans will take the world by storm.

”We have played against India in the recent past as well. They are one of the best currently, something which they have shown in the World Cup. Well, I think one player who can take the world by storm is has to be Shubman Gill. He’s a fantastic player”, Mathews told to India.com in an exclusive interaction.

Matthews was also asked about an Indian all-rounder, who he feels is a shade of him. In reply to that, he said that Hardik Pandya, who is not a shade of him but he is one such guy, if he keeps going and remains fit will go onto break numerous records in the future.

”I won’t say shades of me, but there is a quite number of all-rounders in the Indian Team, like Hardik Pandya. He is one of those guys who stands out for India. He has been amazing in the big stage. Unfortunately, he got injured during the World Cup. Hope he gets better very soon. He is one of those all-rounders will break a lot of records if he is fit and keeps going. He is the one to watch out”, the all-rounder concluded.
