After the retirement of veterans like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill was handed over the Test captaincy of Team India. In the second Test under his captaincy, the Prince of Indian cricket proved with the bat that the new king has knocked in Team India. A century in the first Leeds Test against England and now a double century in Edgbaston Test. His 269 -run historic innings is taking place everywhere. But probably the cutest message is from the Cricket Association of his home state.
On Gill’s double century, the Punjab Cricket Association has shared his first TV interview clip on X. Gill was then in the early adolescence. Barely 15 years old. But what the PCA has written with that clip will win anyone’s heart.
The Punjab Cricket Association posted on X that, yes Shubman Gill, you not only led but you ruled. From the heart of Punjab to the self of Indian cricket. You have shown the world what the royalty is on the field. Not only the captain, a strength, a fire, a golden future. They are not worn, they are earned. And today your crown is shining the most.
The PCA has released a clip of Gill’s first TV interview in which he is seen talking about batting in Test cricket as a very experienced and well -known batsman. He is seen saying that there is Test cricket, if you are out early, then you have to sit outside. At that time, he is telling that his real purpose is to play India match.
Yes, Shubman Gill… you didn’t just lead — you ruled.
From the heart of Punjab to the soul of Indian cricket,
You’ve shown the world what royalty on the pitch looks like.
Not just a captain — a force, a fire, a future written in gold.
Crowns aren’t worn — they’re earned… and… pic.twitter.com/O9ojvVC74d— Punjab Cricket Association (@pcacricket) July 3, 2025
