India’s Vice Captain, Shubman Gill, was spotted practicing with an MRF bat ahead of the semi-final match against Australia in Dubai. Fans noticed this and speculated that he might be using Virat Kohli’s bat for his shadow practice.
Recent reports reveal that Shubman Gill has joined the elite ranks of Sachin Tendulkar, Rohit Sharma, and Virat Kohli by signing a bat partnership deal with MRF Tires. Gill, who has been sponsored by CEAT Tires since 2019, previously had sponsorship deals along with Rohit Sharma and Shreyas Iyer, featuring CEAT branding in their kits. ]
It is believed that Gill has signed for INR 1.8 crore in this deal. Now that his contract with CEAT has concluded, he appears to have signed a new agreement with MRF Tires.
Legacy continuesÂ
Shubman Gill has proven to be a star of this era, consistently rising to the occasion on big stages. This new deal signifies that he is on the path to becoming the next cricketing legend. The MRF brand is iconic for Indian fans; many grew up watching Sachin Tendulkar use MRF bats, and nearly half of the Indian population likely purchased their first bat featuring the MRF sticker.
As Shubman Gill takes on the legacy of MRF bats in the sport, we are yet to see him walk out with the bat as India chases against Australia today in Dubai. However, the leaks have certainly indicated that Gill may have already joined the MRF family.
Shubman Gill’s Remarkable CatchÂ
In addition to his bat sponsorship, Shubman Gill made a remarkable catch in the outfield, dismissing the in-form Travis Head off Varun Chakravarthy’s delivery. Gill ran over 15 yards to comfortably take the catch under pressure, showcasing his skills and athleticism.
