I was touched by MS Dhoni’s gesture: Shubman Gill
“The day I made by debut, I was dismissed when India were around 15. I was sitting outside and was sad having scored just 9 runs in my debut. So Mahi bhai came and saw that I was very sad. I was then around 18-19 years old. He told me at least your debut was better than mine,” said Gill while speaking to Sonam Bajwa on her chat show ‘Dil Diyan Gallan’.
“I realised he was dismissed for golden duck in his debut. He did not face a single ball and was run out. Then he started laughing and joking and I was touched by that gesture,” he added.
