During his visit to the USA for a series against West Indies, Shubman Gill, a highly talented Indian batsman, has more than just cricket on his agenda. Shubman Gill’s interests extend beyond just scoring runs; he also takes pleasure in enjoying himself during cricket tours.
The opening batsman frequently breaks into spontaneous dance moves on the field and engages in friendly banter with fellow teammates. As the final two matches of the series against West Indies are scheduled in the United States, Gill is not only focused on his batting performance but also has “shopping” in mind.
After India’s victory over West Indies in the 4th T20I on Saturday, Gill admitted to his teammate Arshdeep Singh that he’s excited about the shopping opportunities in the USA and doesn’t want to miss out.

The interaction between Shubman Gill, who made a score of 77, and Arshdeep Singh, who secured three wickets and played a pivotal role in India’s victory, was captured in a video shared by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).
“In the first three matches, I could not score even 10 runs. Now, I had finally got a nice wicket to bat on and wanted to capitalise on it. Once I was able to get a good start, it was about doing well in the powerplay and initial stages and deciding the result of the match then and there,” said Gill in the video.
Gill has faced fluctuations in his performance in T20Is. He has managed to accumulate 295 runs across three matches with an average of 32.77. However, this average has been elevated by his notable scores of an unbeaten 126, 77, and 46 in three individual innings.
Regarding his period of low performance, Gill remarked, “You try to identify your mistakes. In my first three matches here, I was not making any. But I just could not convert my starts into something bigger.”
“T20Is are a format where you look for runs and play nice shots, but sometimes, it goes into the hands of fielders. At this time, you should think about the template that helped you score runs and go back to it.”
In conclusion, Gill mentioned that exploring new places involves both shopping and appreciating art, which hold significance for him.
“There is a history of everything, of a place. If you do not shop in the US, what is the use of coming? Hopefully, we win the next match and the series too,” signed off Gill.
The opening batsman additionally expressed his delight in visiting Florida for the first time and appreciated the enthusiastic support from the fans.
