Shubman Gill’s rumoured girlfriend and daughter of Indian cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar, Sara also wished the young cricket star with a sweet message as the fans couldn’t control their excitement seeing Sara also join the chat and wish in the live chatbox.

Gill’s session was flooded with heart emojis and heartwarming wishes not just from fans but also his teammates as his KKR batsman Nitish Rana too wished Gill on his birthday.

Just below Nitish Rana’s ‘Hi’ message, there was Sara’s long “HBDDDDDD” that caught everyone’s attention including Shubamn Gill’s, who had a wide grin on his face as soon as he read that message.

The duo sparked dating rumours last year when both share their respective pictures on Instagram with the same caption and since then have commented on each other’s posts while Shubman too has been teased by fans by Sara’s name during his ‘Ask me Anything’ on Instagram.

Gill, who is plying his trade for KKR in the IPL didn’t have a great first half as he struggled with his form and timing as did the two-time champions, who won only two games out of the seven they played, however, was hopeful that the side can still make the playoffs.

“I think a break was really important. Sometimes such things happen that you don’t expect. I think we are very much in the contention to finish in the Top 4. Whichever team qualifies, you never know what will happen. So, hopefully we will win the remaining matches, make sure we qualify and then we`ll see where we go from there,” Gill told KKR’s official website.

Gill, who is in the UAE also received a surprise from his KKR teammates with a flying cake.
