Shubman Gill is undoubtedly one of the most popular names among the new-generation Indian cricketers, who have just started to build their careers. Thanks to his exceptional batting technique, Gill is often tipped to be the next biggie in Indian cricket, succeeding legend Virat Kohli. The 24-year-old opener recently surprised a fan by commenting on a random Instagram post. The user shared a short clip featuring a picture of Gill while promising that she would start studying if the post was able to garner a reaction from the talented cricketer. The video accompanied a text that read, “Agar Shubman ne is reel pe comment kar diya to kal se padhna shuru kar dungi (If Shubman comments on this reel, I will start studying from tomorrow).”

Shubman Gill is currently involved in a five-match Test series against England, underway on home soil. Neither Gill nor the Indian team could make a positive start to the series. The youngster managed only 23 runs in the opening game which India lost by 28 runs. The hosts turned the tables in the following Test.
Shubman Gill registered a century in the second innings while other batters of his side failed to showcase their A-game on the tricky Vizag surface. He returned with a duck in the first innings of the third Test but made the most out of the next opportunity. Gill might have missed the ton by just 9 runs but his contributions helped his team set a mammoth fourth-innings target of 557 runs. India won the match by 434 runs to take a lead in the series.
Shubman Gill will be back in action when the fourth Test between India and England begins on February 23 in Ranchi.
