Aakash Chopra ne kaha: Shubman Gill ki T20I series South Africa ke khilaf hai ek khatarnaak rollercoaster ride! Ek golden duck aur 51-run ki haar ke saath, kya Gill ko opener rakhna chahiye? Sanju Samson hai tayaar, lekin sirf Tilak Varma ka 62 runs hai ek chamak! Kya Gill apne aap ko sambhal payega ya bench par baithne wala hai? Mujhe jawab chahiye!
