Ind vs SA: Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are arguably the best white-ball players of the generation. They have been serving Indian cricket for nearly two decades now and that is no mean feat. With so much competition in the country to make the national side, it vis not easy to hold onto your spot for a long time if one is not performing and hence one would have reckoned that the two stalwarts would be among the most hardworking players in the side. But that is not to be as top-order batter Yashasvi Jaiswal picked the most-hardworking player of the side. As per Jaiswal, Shubman Gill is the most hardworking cricketer in the side.

It is unbelievable. I enjoy a lot watching him and playing with him. He is an amazing man as well," Jaiswal said on Aaj Tak.

Gill Eyes Form

In the T20I format, Gill has not lived upto the expectations and hence fingers are being pointed at him. There is a T20 World Cup coming up and with Gill being the designated opener of the side, a lot os expected from him. He scored four off two balls in the first T20I versus South Africa in Cuttack. Gill would love to bounce back to form in vthe second T20I in Chandigarh on December 11.
