He continued:
“Even if you notice it after you start doing that and ignoring them, it won’t have as much of an impact on you because you’ll start to understand their perspective. Additionally, they are extremely sentimental and attached”.
Notably, after his game-winning 104* against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), Gill faced online abuse. After the Titans’ six-wicket victory in the season’s final league game. Some RCB supporters made fun of Gill and his sister as the team was eliminated from the playoff race.
