Virat Kohli and Shubman Gill's bond off the field delights fans

Virat Kohli, India's top batsman, has inspired every young player. The 34-year-old has regularly been seen socialising with and advising the younger players. On and off the field, the seasoned batter has close relationships with the younger generation. His pleasant internet exchange with India's rising star Shubman Gill has recently sparked a lot of curiosity. Gill uploaded a photo of himself on his personal Instagram account standing in front of the camera, dressed in a trendy avatar for a brand session.

Gill thanked practically everyone in the thorough piece, but he didn't mention the luxury watch he was wearing. Taking notice of it, Kohli said, "And watch, by who?"

In response, Gill said, "By courtesy of the king." Gill was alluding to his teammate, who is affectionately referred to as "King Kohli" by his supporters.


Fans had previously witnessed a humorous conversation between the two on social media. In April of last year, the two had a similar argument after Gill tweeted a photo of him from a brand session for GQ.

The two are presently involved in an ODI series against New Zealand, with India holding a 2-0 lead in the three-match series. The first match, which took place in Hyderabad, saw Gill smash a double century as India triumphed by 12 runs.

Gill thus became the youngest cricketer to achieve the feat, as well as the fifth Indian batter to hammer a double ton in one-day internationals. Gill had made 208 runs in just 149 balls.

The second match, at Raipur, was a low-scoring affair, with New Zealand being bowled out for 108 in 34.3 overs. In response, India chased down the little total in 20.1 overs.

The last meeting between the two will take place on Tuesday in Indore.
