MUMBAI: Shubman Gill, who is one of India’s brightest cricketing stars, is all praises for Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan.   

The 21-year-old Punjab cricketer represents Shah Rukh Khan-owned Kolkata Knight Riders in the Indian Premier League. 

In an interview with a leading daily, the cricketer, who is currently in Australia for the upcoming cricket series, spoke about Shah Rukh Khan. He was asked what kind of an influence SRK has been and how has he been as the team owner. “As they say, ‘Shah Rukh sir needs no introduction.’ He is so humble as well as warm. Whenever we’ve got an opportunity to interact with him, I found him extremely polite,” said Shubman to Hindustantimes.

The cricketer added, “He is a kind of (team) owner who doesn’t really pressurise his players. He always says good things about us, and keeps us motivated.”  

Further, on being asked what kind of future he sees for himself as a cricketer, he replied, “We (India) have a couple of series coming up. And if I get the chance to be a part of the playing eleven, I have set some goals for myself. I’m really excited about the test matches against Australia. But outside the game, I haven’t really thought too much about things. I want to enjoy each and every moment that life presents to me. I just want to live all those moments. I don’t want to think too far ahead.” 

In the same interview, Shubman shared that he loves to watch movies, and some of his favourite stars are Hrithik Roshan, Shah Rukh Khan, and Jim Carrey.
