Cricketer Shubman Gill has finally addressed the rumors suggesting a rift with Rohit Sharma over disciplinary issues. With a clever and bold caption, Gill shared a photo of himself with the Indian team captain, putting the speculations to rest.
Shubman Gill Reacts to Unfollowing Rumors
Reports had recently surfaced claiming that Gill had unfollowed Sharma on Instagram, sparking rumors of a falling out after Gill was reportedly released from the squad for disciplinary reasons. In response, Gill posted a picture on his Instagram featuring him and Sharma.
In the photo, both cricketers posed together, with Sharma dressed in an orange T-shirt and Gill in a white shirt. One of the pictures even showed Sharma holding his baby girl while standing beside Gill. The highlight of the post was Gill’s witty caption:
“Sammy and I learning the art of discipline from @rohitsharma45.”
The Real Reason Behind Shubman Gill’s Release
Reports had speculated that Gill, along with Avesh Khan, was released from the T-20 World Cup squad due to disciplinary issues, while Rinku Singh remained. Sources suggested that Gill’s focus on personal matters over professional responsibilities led to disagreements with team management and Sharma.
However, a senior BCCI source debunked these rumors, clarifying to PTI that Gill and Khan were only meant to stay with the squad through the Group League stage of the T-20 World Cup 2024. Rinku Singh, on the other hand, remains as a backup player for multiple positions, whereas Gill was only a backup for the openers, a role already covered by Yashasvi Jaiswal.
