Simranjit said in an interview to PTI, ‘I know Shubman since he was a child.’ Like Simranjit, Shubman also used to stay after training at the PCA Academy in Mohali, and I bowled a lot to him in those days. Simranjit further said, ‘I think Shubman Gill must have been around 11 or 12 years old at that time. He used to come to the nets regularly for practice. I used to bowl to him a lot later in the session.’ He jokingly said, ‘My dream was to play for India, but now that I am playing for UAE, I think my family will support UAE.’
