In the midst of the IPL 2025 season, Gujarat Titans captain Shubman Gill has finally addressed the swirling rumors about his romantic life, particularly the speculation surrounding his relationship with Sara Tendulkar, the daughter of cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar. During a candid interview with The Hollywood Reporter India, Gill dismissed these rumors as "so ridiculous" and clarified that he has been single for over three years.
Shubman Gill, who is currently leading the Gujarat Titans in the Indian Premier League, has found himself at the center of dating rumors linking him not only to Sara Tendulkar but also to actress Sara Ali Khan and fellow cricketer Avneet Kaur. In his interview, he expressed amusement at the rumors, stating, "There have been so many rumours and speculations linking me with different people. And sometimes, it would be so ridiculous that I’ve never seen or met that person ever in my life."
Gill elaborated on his focus, stating, "Right now, I’m so focused on what I need to do in my professional career. There’s no space in my life to be able to be with someone. Three hundred days, we’re on the road, travelling somewhere. So there’s hardly any time to invest in a relationship with someone." This statement highlights the demands of his cricketing career, which leaves little room for personal relationships.
Interestingly, actress Sara Ali Khan also responded to the dating rumors during an appearance on the popular talk show Koffee with Karan Season 8. When the audience cheered for her while Gill was batting, she humorously quipped, "You’ve got the wrong Sara, guys! Sara ka sara duniya galat Sara ke peechhe pada hai," which translates to "The whole world is after the wrong Sara." This light-hearted response adds a layer of humor to the speculation surrounding Gill and the actresses.
On another occasion, during an episode of Dil Diyan Gallan with Sonam Bajwa, Gill was asked directly if he was dating Sara. He responded coyly with a "Maybe," which only fueled further speculation. Sonam pressed him for clarity, asking him to reveal the whole truth, to which Gill playfully replied, "Sara da sara sach bol diya," meaning "I’ve told the truth." This playful banter has kept fans guessing about his romantic life.
Adding to the mix, rumors also linked Gill to actress Avneet Kaur after she shared photos from the Champions Trophy win in Dubai, where Gill was a standout performer. One of the photos featured Gill prominently, igniting fresh dating speculation among fans. However, it has since been revealed that Avneet Kaur is dating Raghav Sharma, a friend of Gill's, which further clarifies the nature of their relationship.
As of now, Shubman Gill is focused on his cricketing career. In the ongoing IPL 2025 season, he has scored 305 runs in eight matches, including three fifties. His performance has been crucial for the Gujarat Titans, who are currently positioned second on the points table and are looking to reclaim the top spot with a win against the Rajasthan Royals at Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur.
Gill's dedication to his game is evident as he was retained by the Gujarat Titans for a whopping Rs 16.5 crore ahead of the IPL 2025 mega auction. This investment reflects his growing stature in the cricketing world, where he is not only an opening batter for India in One Day Internationals but also serves as the vice-captain of the team.
Despite the noise surrounding his personal life, it seems Gill is determined to keep his focus on cricket. His dismissive attitude towards the dating rumors showcases a maturity that is often rare in young athletes navigating fame and public interest. For now, fans of the cricketer will have to settle for updates on his performance on the field rather than his love life.
As the IPL 2025 season progresses, all eyes will be on Gill and the Gujarat Titans as they aim for victory, while the dating rumors continue to swirl in the background. With his impressive skills and leadership on the pitch, Shubman Gill is steadily establishing himself as one of the brightest stars in Indian cricket.
