कतई जॉन अब्राहम हुए जा रहे हो, अभी शुरुआत है, क़ामियाबी को सर पर मत चढ़ने देना, बहुत लंबी डगर है, कामियाब रहोगे।
अगले मैच में ठीक ठाक करना, मुझे पता नहीं क्यूँ लगता है, अगला मैच में आप दस रन से ऊपर नहीं मार पाओगे, मतलब GT बाहर…
Speaking of Shubman Gill’s stellar performances throughout this season, he is currently in the second spot on the list of the leading run-scorers of the Indian Premier League 2023.
