Bizarre bonding between Shubman Gill and Kishan
The camaraderie between Shubman Gill and Ishan Kishan, MI’s wicketkeeper, is well known in cricket circles. Their friendship extends beyond the pitch, often sharing accommodations during international duties, which they have openly discussed on several occasions.
Their rapport was once again evident in the pre-match antics that occurred before their recent clash. The unconventional greeting, an amusing spectacle for fans and fellow players alike, shows a side of these professional athletes often unseen during competitive matches.
Unfortunate day for Ishan Kishan due to injury
