Team India vice-captain Shubman Gill offered fans a glimpse into his off-field personality during a light-hearted rapid-fire chat shared by Sony Sports Network on X. When asked which teammate he would want to bat with for the rest of his life, Gill surprised many by overlooking Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli.
Shubman Gill returned to India’s T20I side during the Asia Cup 2025 opener against the UAE in Dubai on Wednesday, September 10. The 26-year-old scored an unbeaten 20 runs off just nine balls as India comfortably chased a modest 58-run target to secure a nine-wicket victory with 93 balls to spare.
