Gujarat Titans captain Shubman Gill was spotted showcasing his football skills, albeit in a hilarious fashion, inside the hotel room. The youngster was joined by some social media influencers, who have been creating engaging content with players featuring in the ongoing season of the Indian Premier League (IPL). In the video, Gill can be seen with a football at his feet and the other individuals present in the room had to snatch it away from him. The star Indian cricketer himself shared the funny video on Instagram and it took no time to become viral.
The video opens with a person gearing up to challenge Shubman Gill. The cricketer looked unfazed as he calmly baffled the opponent with smooth footwork. In the next frame, another influencer pulled off a sliding tackle targeting Gill’s feet. He, however, failed in the attempt as Gill smartly pushed the ball away from the line.
