Shubman Gill is an Indian international cricketer who represents India in ODI, T20I and Test formats. He is the captain of India’s Test and ODI teams and has previously led the T20I side. Gill is a right-handed top-order batsman who plays for Punjab in domestic cricket and serves as the captain of the Gujarat Titans in the Indian Premier League.
At the age of twelve, Gill’s talent caught the eye of former India bowler Karsan Ghavri, who recommended him for the Under-19 All-India pace bowlers’ camp after watching him bat against fast bowlers in the nets. Impressed by his skill, Ghavri asked the Punjab Cricket Association (PCA) to include him in the Punjab Under-14 team. Gill has been close friends with Abhishek Sharma since childhood, and the two used to open the innings together for Punjab in the Under-14 category.
In an Inter-District Under-16 match against Amritsar, playing for Mohali, Gill scored 351 runs and shared a record 587-run opening partnership with Nirmal Singh. At just 14 years old, he made his Under-16 debut for Punjab in the Vijay Merchant Trophy, where he scored a double century.

Today, the same villagers who once taunted them take pride in Shubman’s success, proudly calling Chak Kherewala the “India Test Captain’s village.”
