Watch- Shubman Gill mocks Mohammed Siraj in India training, calls him his son openly

Team India is currently in Sri Lanka for the upcoming T20I and ODI series against the hosts. The Men in Blue are scheduled to play three T20Is and as many ODIs against the Islanders.

The T20I series will kickstart India's tour of Sri Lanka in 2024. The series is scheduled to begin on July 27. All the three T20Is will be played in Pallekele. On the other hand, the entire ODI series will be played in Colombo from August 2.

The Indian team arrived in Sri Lanka on Monday (July 22) and started its preparation for the series from the very following day. And during one of those training sessions, a hilarious incident involving Shubman Gill took place. In a video that is going viral on social media, the star opener could be heard making a hilarious comment after completing a throwing task.

Shubman Gill could be seen catching the ball before throwing it. He seemingly hit the target with the ball before hilariously telling teammate Mohammed Siraj: "Ye le bete."

Shubman Gill enters the leadership group:

The upcoming series marks the beginning of a very important phase for Shubman Gill's international career. This is the series that has firmly established him in the leadership group of the Indian team. While the young batter had led the Indian team during the Zimbabwe tour earlier this month, not many were expecting him to get a leadership role in the full-strength team.

However, the selectors and the team management have made it clear that they see Shubman Gill as a future captain. He has been named the vice-captain of both the white-ball teams ahead of the likes of Hardik Pandya, KL Rahul, and Rishabh Pant.

Shubman Gill will be looking to pick the brains of captains Suryakumar Yadav and Rohit Sharma and hone his leadership skills. He is already an established member of the ODI and the Test team and will also be looking to cement his spot in the T20I team.

The upcoming series will also mark the beginning of Suryakumar Yadav and Gautam Gambhir's tenures as T20I captain and head coach respectively. Earlier this month, Gambhir replaced Rahul Dravid as the head coach while Suryakumar replaced Rohit Sharma as the T20I captain.
