The relationship between Gill and Sara Tendulkar, the daughter of Indian cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar, was widely rumored a few years ago, albeit there was no official confirmation of it. Recently, Gill has also been linked to well-known Bollywood actress Sara Ali, which sparked the stadium crowd’s chanting.

Shubman Gill was in remarkable form in the series against Sri Lanka:

Gill was in exceptional form in the series against Sri Lanka, contributing significantly to India’s 3-0 ODI whitewash. Gill scored a vital 70 in the first ODI before going on to score his second ODI ton in the series’ final game.
Gill scored back-to-back hundreds in international cricket for the first time in his career with a double century against New Zealand.

Gill has had an incredible start to his international career, becoming the fastest Indian and second-fastest player in ODI history to score 1,000 runs. By attaining the milestone in his 19th ODI, he eclipsed Virat Kohli’s and Shikhar Dhawan’s records by five innings.
