Gujarat Titans (GT) captain Shubman Gill addressed the relationship rumors surrounding him in an interview during IPL 2025. As a rising star in Indian cricket, the 25-year-old has been linked with a cricketer’s daughter and a Bollywood actress.
Gill recently played a key role in India’s victory in the 2025 Champions Trophy, scoring a brilliant century in the opening match against Bangladesh. He has also led GT to the top of the IPL points table after eight games.
In an interview with Hollywood Reporter India, Gill responded to the rumors, providing his take on the situation (via NDTV):
“I mean, I’ve been single for over three years. There have been so many speculations and rumors, linking me with different people. And sometimes, it’s so ridiculous that I would have never even seen or met that person ever in my life. And I would be hearing rumours that, I’m with this person and this person where else I’d be like.”
He further continued:
“Like, I know I’m so focused on what I need to do in my professional career. There is no space in my life to be with someone like 300 days a year. We are on the road travelling somewhere. So there is hardly any time to be able to be with someone or invest, you know, the time to be with someone in a relationship.”
“When you’re fully focused, the chants around you fade away”- Shubman Gill
Shubman Gill shared how he enters a focused zone while batting for India or in the IPL, to the extent that he tunes out the crowd chants. The 25-year-old has firmly established himself as one of the top ODI batters globally. With 2,775 runs from just 55 ODIs, Gill boasts an impressive average of 59.04 and a strike rate of 89.56, including eight centuries.
“I’ve told this many times, but I don’t know it’s like an automatic switch. I don’t think any batter can hear those chants. It’s like it’s hard for me to explain. But when you’re in the zone, you can’t hear people chanting or anything,” said Gill (Via aforementioned source).
He further concluded:
“You are so focused on the job that is there for you to finish. You’re so focused on okay, this bowler is bowling at me. This is how much we need to score or these are the things that I need to do.”
