Shubman Gill shares heartwarming pictures with his dad after Ind vs NZ ICC Champions Trophy 2025 win

Shubman was born on September 8, 1999, in Punjab's Fazilka. His father, Lakhwinder Singh, was an agriculturist and was his first coach. Shubman proved he was here to stay as he played an important role in the India vs New Zealand match. The cricketer was seen wearing his jersey and a medal and posing with his first coach, his papa. He shared the heart-warming pictures on his Instagram. From giving a tight hug to his father, who toiled hard to see Shubman play in the Indian cricket team, to him giving the cricketer a sweet kiss, the pictures spoke it all. Indeed! Shubman's hard work and dedication with the support of his father paid it all. The cricketer captioned the snaps as:

"Our dream."

Shubman Gill's dad, Lakhwinder always wanted his son to be a cricketer

Shubman's dad, Lakhwinder, always wanted Shubman to be a cricketer, but there was a time when he was not fine monetarily. Only when Shubman showed his keen interest in cricket did his father sacrifice everything to make him a professional cricketer. It is said that Shubman's dad had taught him many things about cricket, became his first coach, and took responsibility for training his son. Lakhwinder and his family also moved to Mohali back in 2007 to give Shubman many opportunities. His hard work made noise when, on January 31, 2019, Shubman played for India for the first time in an ODI match against New Zealand.

The reason behind Shubman Gill wearing jersey number 77

Earlier, in an interaction with Star Sports India, Shubman was asked about why his jersey was numbered 77. He was asked why he selected double-digit numbers at a time when cricketers usually like single-digit numbers. Shubman, in response to the question, shared that back when he was playing the U-19 World Cup, he wanted a number 7 jersey, but it was already taken. For this reason, he took number 77, which is two sevens.

Is Avneet Kaur and Shubman Gill together?

When Shubman posted his recent pictures with his father, Avneet Kaur, who is known to be his rumoured love interest, did not drop any comment. She was seen at the India versus Australia ICC Champions Trophy 2025. As she shared an array of snaps, fans speculated that she came to cheer for Shubman, as on his birthday, she had also shared a monochrome snap of the cricketer and had also wished him. However, neither Avneet nor Shubman have commented on being in a relationship.
