Jay Shah Celebrates Rising Star Shubman Gill’s Birthday, Praises His Poise and Confidence for Team India

Team India’s ‘Prince’, Shubman Gill turns 25 today and on this special occasion, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) Honorary Secretary, Jay Shah had a special message for the all-format star tipped to be the future of Indian Cricket.

In a post on his official handle on X (formerly known as Twitter), Jay Shah wrote,” Wishing a very happy birthday to our rising star, Shubman Gill! You’ve started your international career with incredible poise and confidence. I’m looking forward to many more match-winning knocks from you for Team India. Best wishes for the year ahead!”

Gill has already established himself as a key member of India’s ODI setup after being part of the side that went all the way to the final in the 2023 World Cup at home.

Now he continues his pursuit of becoming the next big all-format batting star since Virat Kohli. He has taken over Cheteshwar Pujara in the Test side at the number three spot, and will likely be part of the T20I setup following Rohit Sharma and Kohli’s retirements.

Gill has already captained the T20I side during their tour of Zimbabwe in July 2024. He is also the designated captain of the Gujarat Titans in the Indian Premier League as well.

Taking up so much responsibility at this age, he continues to prove why he is one of India’s stars for the future in the post-Rohit and Kohli era.

Currently, Gill is leading the India A side in the Duleep Trophy 2024 tournament. He was not able to get a big score under his belt as he got dismissed after getting a decent start.
