Even though Thursday’s IPL 2024 match between the Gujarat Titans and Sunrisers Hyderabad was a washout, the friendship between the players and their families made it memorable. The internet went crazy when SRH all-arounder Abhishek Sharma and GT captain Shubman Gill shared a sweet moment in the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium stands.
Shubman’s gesture wins hearts
While the players were unable to play due to the rain, Abhishek escorted Shubman Gill to the stands, where his sister Komal and mother Manju were seated. The Sharma family grinned from ear to ear at seeing Gill and expressed their happiness. Gill won people over with his lovely gesture as well.

Shubman Gill and Abhishek Sharma friends from childhood
Gill and Abhishek’s family may have never met in public before, but there is a long history between the two young cricket players and their families. Gill and Abhishek are referred to as bosom friends because they played age-group cricket together growing up in Punjab. In the same season in 2017, they both made their first-class debuts for Punjab. In 2018, they won the U19 World Cup while playing for India.
