New Delhi. Team India’s opener batsman Shubman Gill is celebrating his 24th birthday today on September 8. He was born on this day in the year 1999 in Fazilka city of Punjab. Shubman Gill was very fond of playing cricket since his childhood. Right from the beginning he wanted to make his career in cricket. Shubman Gill has now got a place in the World Cup as well. He will be seen playing for India in ODI World Cup 2023.
There are many players in the Indian team who have struggled a lot in their early stages. Gill’s story is similar. Shubman’s father Lakhwinder Singh told Bhaskar in an interview that he made Shubman Gill practice in the village farm. He bowled with the mat in the field, which gave Gill a better front foot and also allowed him to play a better pull shot.

Used to hold the bat even while sleeping
Gill’s father said that Gill was so fond of cricket from childhood that he used to sleep with the bat under his head. During the conflict, he did not want to let any gap in Shubman Gill’s training. He wanted to keep it going. His father trained him as a coach. Perhaps this is the reason why Gill has reached different heights today. Father wanted him to play the World Cup. Whose dreams are going to come true now.
Gill got a chance in the World Cup
It is every cricketer’s dream to play in the World Cup. But only a few players have been able to reach this far. Shubman Gill has also been included in the World Cup squad to be held in India this year. Gill made his ODI debut for Team India in the year 2019. Since then he has played a total of 29 matches. Making a place in the World Cup squad in such a short time is a special achievement for Gill.
