The opening batsman spoke about how Kohli has been an inspiration and ‘idol’ for him since his early days in cricket and how the ‘pretty big moment’ of meeting him didn’t change a thing.
In a video shared by the ICC, Shubman Gill talks about a few of his ‘Insta Memories.’ The first post is of the BCCI annual function 2014-15, where Virat Kohli bagged the first of his four Polly Umrigar Awards, and Shubman Gill won the Junior Cricketer of the Year for the second consecutive time.
About the memory, Shubman Gill said:
Shubman Gill also spoke about the previous edition of the BCCI annual function in 2015, where he became the Junior Cricketer of the Year awardee for the first time.
The 21-year-old remembered that although Virat Kohli was present at that function, he was too shy to approach him.
