Don't Think Any Batter Can Hear Those Chants - Shubman Gill

Shubman Gill dismissed all the rumours surrounding his personal life. He also spoke about how he handles crowd chants while batting or fielding. Gill said that when he is in the zone, his full attention is on the bowler and the match situation.

"I've told this many times, but I don't know it's like an automatic switch. I don't think any batter can hear those chants. It's like it's hard for me to explain. But when you're in the zone, you can't hear people chanting or anything. You are so focused on the job that is there for you to finish. You're so focused on okay, this bowler is bowling at me. This is how much we need to score or these are the things that I need to do," said Gill.

Shubman is currently captaining the Gujarat Titans in the Indian Premier League 2025. Under his leadership, the team is at the top of the points table with 12 points. They will play their next match against the Rajasthan Royals (RR) at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Monday, April 28.
