Despite being just 26, India’s ODI and Test skipper Shubman Gill has an extremely strong head on his broad shoulders. He has seen fame at a very young age, but has handled it with utmost ease. In an interview with GQ India magazine’s April-May edition, Gill reveals exactly how he does this.
“I’m overwhelmingly grateful for all the love and support I get from fans. I like to keep my personal circle very small, and within my circle, I’m not the most famous person. I have friends in that group who are more famous. They keep me in check, and humble,” Gill, who is currently captaining the Gujarat Titans in the IPL, told the magazine.
“I [also] love having my family around. During matches, their presence lightens the atmosphere, which I really appreciate,” added the swashbuckling batter.
