Shubman Gill Meets Ed Sheeran, Tells Him to Ask Shah Rukh Khan Why Did KKR Not Retain Him After IPL 2021 (Watch Video)
The 24-year-old Indian batsman has had a couple of good seasons in the IPL and currently is the captain of 2022 champions Gujarat Titans. Shubman Gill had finished as the highest run-scorer of IPL 2023, scoring 890 runs in 17 matches.
Shubman Gill was an integral part of the Kolkata Knight Riders' outfit, especially in the 2021 edition of IPL, where the two-time champions had made it to the final. However, he was released by the Knight Riders ahead of the mega-auction next year in a move which was found to be surprising by several fans. Gill joined Gujarat Titans and won the IPL in the franchise's debut season. The current captain of Gujarat Titans met Ed Sheeran and, in a fun interaction, told him to ask KKR co-owner Shah Rukh Khan why he was not retained. Popular YouTuber Tanmay Bhat was also part of the chat. Shubman Gill Smashes Kagiso Rabada for a Six With Picture-Perfect Lofted Straight Drive During GT vs PBKS IPL 2024 Match (Watch Video).
