Indian wicketkeeper-batsman Ishan Kishan shared the story of how his friendship with opener Shubman Gill started and evolved into a close camaraderie. The two cricketers have built a strong bond while representing the national team in various formats over the past couple of years.
Shubman Gill is presently in South Africa for the two-Test series, whereas Ishan Kishan participated in the white-ball series but withdrew from the Tests due to mental fatigue.

“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.
He added: “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,”
