A charming interaction between Shubman Gill and Abhishek Sharma highlighted the relationship between the top batters of the Indian cricket team. During the BCCI Naman Award ceremony, Abhishek Sharma and Shubman Gill faced each other for a brief conversation.
The Indian cricket fans know that these two batters from Punjab are very close to each other. Whenever they shared the same dressing room, field, or the team bus, paparazzi got their moment. Like multiple times before, Gill and Sharma shared a very joyful chat during the interview, which is now viral on social media platforms.
Abhishek Sharma and Shubman Gill engaged in a funny chat
The funny conversation started with a very simple question, which could be answered in only one word. But if the person standing opposite is the best friend of the team, then things are different.
Your daily dose of cricket!
The presenter asked Gill whether Sharma sought advice from him after registering three back-to-back ducks in the recently concluded T20 World Cup 2026. Abhishek Sharma had a very poor run during the tournament when he managed to get three ducks in a row in the group stage.
Gill, the captain of Team India for the Test and ODI formats, who will advise the No.1 T20I batter in the world? “No.1 T20I batsman in the world ko kaun advice dega?” Shubman Gill said.
These types of comments can only be made if the person next to you is a very close friend. As Gill started the chat in a teasing way, and that too publicly, Abhishek Sharma, who loves to smash the ball all over the park, easy to assume that he did not hold back.
Sharma claimed jokingly that he texted Shubman first
After Gill’s remark, Sharma replied, “Maine hi message kiya tha isko 3 duck ke baad ke mujhe bat de de, isse pehle koi aur record bann jae” (I was the one who messaged him after three ducks and told him to give me his bat, otherwise some other unwanted record would have been made).”
When presenter asked Shubman if he gave any advice to Abhishek Sharma before T20I WC-
SG- no.1 T20I batsman in the world ko kaun advice dega 😭😭
AS- maine hi message kia tha SG ko 3 duck ke baad ke mujhe bat dede, isse pehle koi aur record bann jae 😂 He said ke tu kar lega… pic.twitter.com/5zMiFpMism

When most of the batters prefer not to talk about the bad days on the pitch, Sharma was talking about his hat-trick of ducks jokingly, which is common among friends. As soon as the video was shared on social media platforms, cricket fans thoroughly enjoyed the pure friendship atmosphere.
Abhishek did not forget to share what Shubman told him in reply when he asked to give his bat. “Usne bola tha, tu kar lega” (He told me, you’ll manage it)”, Sharma further added.
Shubman Gill made the chat more hilarious with his final touch
It was a small line, but enough to express how much trust and comfort they contained for each other.
As the conversation shifted from runs to bats, the presenter asked, “Who do you think has the best bat?” to Abhishek Sharma. He spontaneously replied, “Shubman ka hi” (Shubman’s, of course)”.
In reply, what Shubman said made the whole conversation more hilarious. “Woh mere bat se hi khelta hai hamesha (He plays with my bat all the time anyway),” Shubman Gill said.
