The match held between Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Gujarat Titans (GT) on Sunday evening was indeed a spectacular one! Both these teams consist of prominent cricketers who are no less than celebrities. While RCB had the power of Virat Kohli, GT had the skill set of Shubman Gill.
Yesterday, both 23-year-old Gill and 34-year-old Kohli smashed a century each for their respective teams. Both players are receiving a tremendous amount of appreciation for their performance. However, as the game got over, Gujarat won by six wickets, leaving RCB eliminated from the race for the IPL 2023 playoffs.
Soon after the development, Virat Kohli was left teary-eyed, the videos of which are going viral on social media. Gill, on the other hand, seemed happy and content after his team’s victory.
In view of this development, Virat Kohli’s fans have started making fun of Gill and his personal life. Many netizens seem convinced that the secret behind the success of Gill’s motivation and performance is none other than Sara Tendulkar.
One Twitter user wrote, “Sasur ji ki team ko playoffs main pahuchana hai.” Sachin Tendulkar is a supporter of Mumbai Indians. With RCB losing the game, it is now confirmed that Mumbai’s team has qualified for the playoffs.
Another Twitter user commented, “Gill knocking out RCB just to impress Sara Tendulkar.” Have a look at the Twitter posts.
Sara, for those unversed, is the daughter of legendary Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar. Prior to the commencement of IPL 2023, rumours were rife that something is brewing between Sara and Shubman which is more than just friendship. And adding fuel to the fire, Sachin has also dropped an appreciation post for Gill. Have a look.
Meanwhile, about a week ago, Gill also confirmed his debut in the entertainment industry. He has lent his voice for the upcoming animated Hollywood film Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, which will be dubbed and released in Hindi and Punjabi languages as well. This film will release on June 1 in India theatrically.
