Gill’s rumored romances
Gill has been linked to several prominent personalities in the past, including Bollywood actresses Sara Ali Khan and Ridhima Pandit, as well as Sara Tendulkar, the daughter of cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar. There were also rumours of a relationship with Punjabi actress Sonam Bajwa, though she denied these claims on social media. While Gill has been spotted with actress Sara on multiple occasions, she has denied any romantic involvement during her appearance on ‘Koffee With Karan.’
The most recent speculation involved Ridhima, with reports suggesting that the two were set to marry in December 2024. However, Ridhima has categorically denied these rumours, stating that she has never even met Gill and finds the situation both amusing and puzzling.
Gill’s focus on cricket amidst personal rumours
Despite the constant attention to his personal life, Gill has maintained his characteristic silence. His focus remains firmly on cricket, where he has been performing exceptionally well. As the current vice-captain of the India ODI team and captain of the Gujarat Titans in the IPL, Gill has consistently demonstrated his prowess as a batter. His recent form in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 has been impressive, with an unbeaten 101 against Bangladesh showcasing his maturity as a key player.
As India progresses through the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, Gill’s performance will be closely watched. The team has already secured a spot in the semifinals after convincing wins against Bangladesh and Pakistan. Gill’s next challenge will be India’s final group match against New Zealand on March 2. His ability to handle pressure and deliver under challenging conditions will be crucial in determining India’s success in the tournament.
