Talking about Shubman Gill, as per the quotes in India Today, Brad Evans said, “Yeah for sure (he was one of the factors in deciding the series). Going into the series, I was one of his biggest fans, that’s why I got his shirt and now I’m playing against him. He is a world-class player. Even from the first game, you could just tell… For example, when he gets a single, he hits it hard exactly where he intends to. That’s a skill and it comes after years of practice.”

He further added, “I just sometimes watch him in awe ‘this guy is so good.’ That’s the reason I’m a fan. I watched him on TV in the IPL and in Australia when they won that Test series… That’s the reason I’m a fan. To play against him was awesome.”

It was quite quick. I had actually asked him in the morning if we could change shirts and he agreed. He’s a nice guy.”
