Virat Kohli is known for his dedication to the game and his willingness to share his experience with younger players. Ahead of the first ODI against Sri Lanka, Kohli might have given some valuable advice to Shubman Gill, who is set to open the innings with Rohit Sharma.

Kohli could have advised Gill to:

  1. Play to his strengths: Kohli might have encouraged Gill to stick to his natural game and play to his strengths, which is playing classical cricket shots with solid technique.
  2. Be patient and build an innings: Kohli could have stressed the importance of being patient and building an innings, especially in the longer format of the game like ODIs.
  3. Handle pressure situations: Kohli might have shared his own experiences of handling pressure situations and advised Gill on how to stay calm and composed under pressure.
  4. Learn from every game: Kohli could have advised Gill to learn from every game, whether it’s a win or a loss, and to keep improving his game.
  5. Stay focused and disciplined: Kohli could have emphasized the importance of staying focused and disciplined both on and off the field.

These are some possible suggestions that Kohli might have given to Gill ahead of the first ODI against Sri Lanka.
