Indian cricketer Shubman Gill recently paid a visit to Afghanistan's leg-spinner Rashid Khan in the UK, sparking excitement among fans and fellow players. Gill, who was recently appointed as the captain of the Gujarat Titans for IPL 2024, posed for a photo with Rashid, who expressed his delight on social media.
In a heartwarming post, Rashid Khan thanked Gill for the visit, referring to him as "captain sahab." The post received positive reactions, with former England skipper Michael Vaughan expressing his love for the encounter. The Gujarat Titans also chimed in, expressing their hope that no evil eye would be cast on their star players, writing, "Nazar na lage."
Rashid Khan, who recently underwent a minor lower-back surgery in the UK on November 24, had to withdraw from the upcoming Big Bash League season 13 due to the back injury. Despite the setback, Rashid played a crucial role in Afghanistan's success at the 2023 ODI World Cup, delivering standout performances against strong teams like England and Pakistan.
On the other hand, Shubman Gill, last seen in action during the final of the ODI World Cup 2023 between India and Australia in Ahmedabad, is gearing up for upcoming matches in South Africa. He is slated to participate in a three-match T20I series and engage in two Test matches in the coming days, showcasing his commitment to the sport.
