The bromance of Indian youngsters Ishan Kishan and Shubman Gill is not a secret to anyone. They are the teammates in Team India who are often seen engaging in funny banter in the dressing room, making social media videos, or cracking jokes at each other on Instagram. Recently, the two were seen sharing a lengthy, lighthearted discussion.
In a public event, Virat Kohli labeled Gill and Ishan as identical twins as he opened up about their friendship.
Kohli said that both Seeta and Geeta (Ishan and Shubhman) are very funny. Even I have no clue what’s going on either. Virat further said that even though he can’t say much, during tours, these guys can’t stay alone. If we go out for food, they will come together. Even during discussions, both of them are always together. I haven’t seen them alone, as they are great friends.”
Seeta Aur Geeta is one of the famous Bollywood films that was released in 1972. The two protagonists are identical twins, portrayed by the Bollywood actress Hema Malini.
All three players are currently in the middle of the 2024 season of the IPL.
