However, it is safe to say that Gill has passed the test with flying colours. He scored a brilliant century in the last ODI against Sri Lanka, and he made it even better in the 1st ODI against New Zealand where he smashed a double century with the bat. Gill has been absolutely brilliant in his last 5 ODI innings.
Both Gill and Ishan played together in the Hyderabad ODI, where ishan had to bat in the middle order. Gill and Ishan are great friends off the field as well, and we have seen them together making reels on Instagram as well. They even share the same room in the hotel.
Rohit Sharma reveals hilarious pre-match routine of Ishan Kishan and Shubman Gill
BCCI shared a video of Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan and Shubman Gill after India’s win in the Hyderabad ODI against New Zealand. Rohit initially asked basic questions to Shubman about his preparation and mindset during the game. A little later, Kishan took the microphone and asked Gill about his pre-game routine.
Rohit gave a hilarious response that you both sleep together, and that’s your pre-game routine. Gill then answered how Ishan has ruined his pre-game routine as he does now allow him to sleep at night. He revealed that Ishan has a habit of watching movies in loud voice without using any kind of earphones.
“Saath Mai tum dono sote ho wahi to pre-game routine hai,” (You guys sleep together, that’s your pre-game routine) Rohit Sharma said in the video
“Pre match routine mera ye banda saara kharab kar deta hai kyuki mujhe sune nahi deta hai ye. I pad pe isko airpods nahi lagane hote, movie chal ri hoti hai full volume pe,” (Ishan has destroyed my pre-game routine as he does not allow me to sleep. He does not wear AirPods and watch movie on loud volume) Shubman Gill responded to Ishan’s question.
It is certain that both Gill and Ishan will get to play in the series together, and they would want to make the job tough for KL Rahul, who is out of this series due to personal reasons.
