Robin Minz's father was on duty when the Indian cricket team were leaving Ranchi after defeating England by 5 wickets.

Shubman Gill, who will be leading the Gujarat Titans in the forthcoming season of the Indian Premier League (IPL), played a match-winning knock in Ranchi to help India win the 4^th Test against England and take an unassailable 3-1 lead. As Team India was leaving the capital city of Jharkhand, Gill caught up with Francis Minz, father of wicketkeeper-batter Robin Minz at the Ranchi Airport.

Robin, who is fondly known as ‘Ranchi ka Gayle’, was picked up by the Gujarat Titans in the mini players’ auction for a whopping amount of Rs 3.6 crore. Since then, not only Robin but his father, Francis Xavier Minz, has become the talk of the town.

Francis is an ex-army man who is now posted at the Ranchi International Airport as a security official. He was on duty when the Indian cricket team were leaving the city after defeating England by 5 wickets. Gill, the newly-appointed GT skipper, took out to time to meet and greet Francis and even click a picture which he put out as an Instagram story on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, the video of the meet-up was shared on the official X handle of the Gujarat Titans. The caption of the video reads, “Humility exemplified as Captain Gill meets Francis Minz, our new Titan, Robin Minz’s father!”
