Shubman Gill, India’s star opener, celebrated his 25th birthday on September 8, 2024, while being in the spotlight both for his cricketing achievements and personal life. The young cricketer’s rumored relationship with Bollywood actress Avneet Kaur stirred up more intrigue when she shared a special birthday post for him on Instagram, writing, “Happy birthday Shubman! Keep inspiring people! Proud of you always.” This affectionate message has further fueled rumors of a romantic connection between the two.
Previously linked with Sara Tendulkar, daughter of Indian cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar, Shubman is now speculated to have ended that relationship and may be seeing Avneet instead. The duo was first spotted together in December 2023, where they were seen enjoying each other’s company, sparking dating rumors.
Avneet’s recent holiday photos from London also featured Shubman, adding fuel to the gossip surrounding their potential relationship. Despite the increasing public curiosity, both Shubman and Avneet have remained silent about their relationship status, leaving fans to speculate.
Despite these off-field rumors, Gill’s focus on cricket remains steady. As the captain of India A in the 2024 Duleep Trophy, he showcased his leadership skills, although the team suffered a loss to India B by 76 runs. Shubman’s individual performance included scoring 46 runs across two innings, with an average of 23.00.
Up next for the cricketer is the two-match Test series against Bangladesh at home, starting on September 19, where he will look to continue his form and shift the attention back to his cricketing prowess.
