UAE's Simarjeet claims that he has been bowling to Shubman since he was 12 years old. "I have known Shubman since he was a kid, but I don't know if he remembers me," said Singh (Pic: X/@ANI)
"It was around 2011-12 and Shubman must have been 11 or 12 at the max. We used to train at the PCA Academy in Mohali from 6am to 11am. Shubman would come accompanied by his father at around 11 am," added the 35-year-old spinner (Pic: File Pic)
Over the years, Gill has transformed himself into a much more reliable cricketer and is being seen as the future skipper of Indian cricket across all formats of the game (Pic: File Pic)
