“I’ve been single for over three years, and so many speculations and rumours link me with different people. Sometimes, it’s so ridiculous because I haven’t even met the person in my life. It’s bizarre,” Gill said, addressing the ongoing chatter surrounding his private life.

Focused solely on his career, Gill explained that his busy cricketing schedule leaves him little room for relationships. “We’re on the road for about 300 days a year. There’s hardly any time to be with someone or invest the time needed for a relationship,” he stated.

“When you’re batting, you don’t hear those chants. You’re completely zoned in — thinking about gaps, bowlers, next shots,” he explained. “But while fielding, especially near the boundary, you do hear them sometimes.”
Gill’s straightforward comments have once again highlighted his commitment to his craft, as he continues to be one of India’s most promising young stars both in international cricket and the IPL.
