“Virat Kohli taught me passion and hunger” – Shubman Gill on his role model | Cricket news

Shubman Gill recently opened on Apple Music on his cricket trip and the inspirations behind his ascent, giving fans an overview of the man behind the bat. Speaking on the podcast, Gill thought about the recent series of Tests from India against England and the exhausting battles that pushed the two teams to their limits. In the midst of the discussion on his own performances and his love for music, Gill shared how Virat Kohli shaped his approach to the game. Gill spoke of his first cricket heroes and underlined how Kohli’s passion and hunger for the game left him a lasting impression. “Talent and skills are one thing, but if you don’t have the reader and passion, it doesn’t matter,” he said.

Kohli’s dedication, intensity, intensity and hunger in Excel showed him what it really takes to succeed at the highest level. For Gill, it was more than admiration – it became a plan for his own career. As a test captain himself, Gill also learned from philosophy, in particular stoicism, to manage pressure and expectations. He explained how he considers leadership and performance: like honey bees, focusing on work itself rather than recognition. “I want to make my part sincerely and honestly without seeking appreciation,” he said, a state of mind that echoes the discipline and the concentration that Kohli embodies on the ground.

Beyond the cricket, Gill talked about his love for music, his trip from Punjab to the world scene, and how routines as listening to classic tunes help him stay in the area before the matches. Gill’s words clearly show that even if he likes music, food and travel, his cricket philosophy was deeply shaped by looking at Kohli and applying timeless lessons on concentration, discipline and passion to all aspects of the game.
