“We care for each other as well”- Ishan Kishan on his bromance with Shubman Gill

Ishan Kishan revealed this to Amitabh Bachchan on Kaun Banega Crorepati show.

India keeper-batter Ishan Kishan revealed how his friendship with opener Shubman Gill began and has blossomed into a bromance of sorts. Both cricketers share a healthy bond, having played for the national team over the last couple of years across formats.

Shubman Gill is currently in South Africa for the two-Test series, while Ishan Kishan was there for the white-ball series, but opted out of Tests citing mental fatigue.

Kishan revealed that he and Gill became good friends once they started sharing a room on India A, B, and other teams. Kishan said that apart from their camaraderie on the cricket field, they are also good friends off the field.

“Me and Gill are very good friends, and we care for each other as well. We became friends when teams like India A, India B, and India C existed with high-performing players from various states. He was in my team, but I did not get to know when he came to sleep in my room,” Kishan revealed on Kaun Banega Crorepati.

“So, what happened is, whenever we used to go on tour out of India, we used to go eating together and go everywhere together. From there, our friendship became deep. Our relation is not limited to cricket, but also off the field,” he added.

Ishan Kishan holds the record for the fastest double-ton in ODIs, while Shubman Gill also joined him on the list. Gill has had an excellent outing in 2023, scoring over 2000 runs in international cricket with 7 centuries and 10 fifties to his name.
