On Tuesday, March 9, IPL team KKR shared an excerpt from their interview with star batsman Shubman Gill on Instagram. In the video, the youngster can be seen narrating his encounter with Pat Cummins at the MCG back in December 2020. The Australian speedster dismissed Gill on his first ever Test innings after the right-handed batsman had scored a fluent 45 at the top of the order.

Shubman Gill revealed in the interview that he had a run-in with Pat Cummins later in the series. The opening batsman said that the pacer had warned him about unleashing a barrage of bouncers to him.

The batting prodigy also downplayed the entire incident, describing it as a “friendly banter” between the KKR teammates.
