The 21-year-old from Punjab is one of the many youngsters who made his debut under skipper Virat Kohli, and there is no doubt that he looks up to the latter as an inspiration. In the past Gill had mentioned that there are many things to learn from the team’s leader, but now the youngster has come up with something, that Kohli can learn from Gill.

It was during the series, ’25 Questions’ on ESPNCricinfo, where Gill was asked one thing he would like to teach Kohli. He replied, “One thing… FIFA (the game). I know he’s going to be really pissed but he always loses to me in FIFA.” Further in the interview, he was asked, if he had a time machine which match he would have wanted to feature in. He replied promptly, “The 2011 World Cup final.”

Not only that, Gill also revealed the name of the player who had the heaviest bat in Team India or Kolkata Knight Riders. His answer was none other than Jamaican Andre Russell. In the video he also admitted that Harbhajan Singh prepared the best butter chicken he has had in his life.
