Sara, the daughter of batting legend Sachin Tendulkar, has been linked with Shubman for a long time. There were reports of the two dating each other before Gill was spotted with Bollywood actress Sara Ali Khan at a restaurant in Mumbai last year. However, neither of the three has come out to clear the speculations made by the paparazzi.
The 23-year-old Gill took just 54 balls to smash his maiden century in the shortest format of the game. Shubman hit 12 fours and 7 sixes during his unbeaten knock of 126, and it impressed fans and cricket experts.
In his record-breaking inning, the Punjab lad surpassed former India captain Virat Kohli, who earlier held the record for slamming the highest-score by an Indian in T20Is. Kohli scored 122 not out against Afghanistan in the 2022 Asia Cup.
Here’s how fans responded to Sara Tendulkar’s trend after Shubman Gill’s century:

After receiving his ‘Player of the Match’ award as India thrashed New Zealand by a heavy margin of 168 runs, Gill said: “It feels good when you practice and it pays off. I was backing myself to score big. Didn’t happen in the Sri Lanka series, but happy to see it work out now. Everybody has a different technique to hit sixes.”
He added: “When you represent your country, there is no fatigue. It was my dream to play for India, and I am very fortunate to be part of the team in all three formats.”
