Abhishek Sharma Narrates Funny Shubman Gill Incident

Indian T20I openers Shubman Gill and Abhishek Sharma have played almost all their cricket together and have known each other since they were kids. Both the Indian players belong from Punjab and they have trained under Yuvraj Singh prior to their debut for India. While appearing on the show Breakfast with Champions, Abhishek Sharma narrated how he got into trouble once due to Shubman Gill during their childhood days.

"Our hotel was just 500m away from the Dharamsala Stadium. We used to go there by bus. The driver was stopping songs and we wanted to play Punjabi music. He had said, I don’t want to play all this, stop all this. We got into an argument and the person who was shouting the loudest from the back was Shubman. The incident got escalated to the coaches and we were asked to sign a letter stating our expulsion from the camp. I was more sad about Shubman not getting caught. He had a talent that he could change his expressions," Abhishek said.
