IND vs NZ: ‘Hope, you don’t mind…,’ India legend gives Shubman Gill a nickname

Shubman Gill slammed a double century against New Zealand in first ODI. In his two-year-long career, Shubman Gill has already accounted for the fastest 1,000 ODI runs, taking just 18 innings to complete the feat. No wonders, legends like Sunil Gavaskar has been a fan of this youngster so much so that he even gave him a nickname while speaking to him. After the match, Gavasakar said, “I have given you a new nickname, Smoothman Gill. I hope you don’t mind.”
