Watch: "Main toh hu hi nahi": Shubman Gill's reply on India's T20 plans after India wins Asian Games 2026 Gold Medal

The Indian ODI captain, Shubman Gill, has found himself caught off guard when reporters shocked them with a few questions on the T20I set-up as the Shreyas Iyer-led side just arrived in India after winning the Gold Medal of the Asian Games 2026 final, in which they beat Pakistan, thanks to the all-round performance. 

Gill was recently part of India’s three-match ODI series against West Indies, where he smashed a fine century in the opening clash at the Greenfield International Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram. Meanwhile, he celebrated his second double century of the 50-over format at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati.
