Veteran Indian all-rounder Yuvraj Singh took to X (formerly Twitter) to wish young batting superstar Shubman Gill a happy 25th birthday, adding a playful twist to his message. The former Indian star shared a compilation of photos and videos of Gill, culminating in a throwback clip of Gill dancing with his Punjab teammate Abhishek Sharma.

“Wishing a Happy Birthday to our very own #GillSahab. Really proud of the journey you’re on – stay focused, work hard and enjoy the ride! Have a lovely year ahead. P.S. love the dance steps in the end @ShubmanGill,” Yuvraj wrote.

The birthday boy, who recently became India’s white-ball vice-captain, led the India A team in the Duleep Trophy match against India B. Gill has become a key player for India across all formats and has been in the spotlight for his stellar performances.

While Gill has been performing consistently in limited-overs cricket, he has admitted to not meeting his expectations in Test cricket. “In Test cricket, my performance has not matched my expectations so far. But we are going to play 10 Test matches this season, and when I look back after those 10 Tests, hopefully, my expectations will be matched,” Gill told PTI ahead of the Duleep Trophy.

The 24-year-old has been batting at the crucial number 3 spot in Test cricket since the dropping of Cheteshwar Pujara. Although he faced challenges initially, Gill showed promising signs during the Test series against England, scoring 452 runs in 5 Tests, including two centuries.

India are set to face Bangladesh in a two-match Test and three-game T20I series, starting September 19, followed by a three-match Test series against New Zealand, starting October 16.
