Aakash Chopra highlighted how Team India skipper Shubman Gill has received immense love from fans at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi during the ongoing second Test against West Indies. He noted that several supporters held posters of Gill in the stands.
The former cricketer suggested that while there were many posters for Indian cricket stars Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, Gill got a rousing reception from the crowd as well.
Chopra said in his latest YouTube video, "Shubman Gill is in the heart of Delhi fans. I never thought this would happen. Small kids held banners for him. There were posters of Ro-Ko on one side, and in Kohli's hometown, and in his pavilion, people were clapping for Gill. Indian cricket has definitely moved on. You may disagree, but what I saw in Delhi was in front of everyone. The love that we saw in Delhi, and the way cricket moves forward, it is a reminder that time doesn't stop for anyone."
