In the world of cricket, there are young talents that emerge, capturing the hearts of fans with their exceptional skills and charming demeanour. One such sensation is Shubman Gill, who celebrated his 24th birthday with the Indian cricket team in Colombo, where they are set to face Pakistan in a Super 4 clash on Sunday (September 10).
On Shubman’s big day, Star Sports India shared a video featuring the young Indian talent. In the heartwarming clip, Gill opens up about some lesser-known aspects of his life, shedding light on his profound love for the sport and his connection with the legendary MS Dhoni.
Beyond his cricketing prowess, Gill revealed that he is an ardent fan of Bollywood heartthrob Hrithik Roshan. The right-hander particularly admired the on-screen chemistry between Hrithik and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in the action-packed movie ‘Dhoom 2,’ where the bike chasing sequences left a lasting impression on him.

Shubman Gill loves listening to music
Music also holds a special place in Gill’s life. He is known to be an aficionado of regional songs and has a habit of getting hooked on a song to the point where he listens to it on repeat until he’s thoroughly enamoured with it. This reveals a more personal and relatable side to the cricket sensation, endearing him to fans even further.
In a short span of his career, the Punjab-born cricketer has not only dazzled with his on-field performances but has also charmed fans with his off-field presence. Gill’s charismatic smile and humble demeanour have made him a favourite among cricket enthusiasts.
Currently, Gill is in Sri Lanka as part of the Indian squad for the Asia Cup. As the team prepares for the upcoming World Cup in 2023, Shubman promises to be India’s ace card, offering both skill and charisma that can help the team secure victories at the ICC event.
