Shubman Gill’s new helmet style
Now the question is what is so special about Gill’s helmet? The grille of his new helmet is wide instead of curving down. Apart from this, the part near the eyes which used to remain empty, has also got a grill in it. Overall, Gill’s new helmet seems to be fine in terms of safety.
Worn while fielding, will batting wear the same?
Currently, Gill is wearing it while fielding on the first day of the Ahmedabad Test. But will he be able to use this helmet even during batting. It will be interesting to see.
