Sara Tendulkar, daughter of cricket icon Sachin Tendulkar, recently set social media abuzz with a mysterious Instagram story which could be cryptically linked to Shubman Gill.

Shubman Gill and Sara Tendulkar's dating rumours are not new, they have been shipped by fans for a long time and even Virat Kohli during a match, cheered up the crowd to chant Sara's name. However, the recent move from Sara has surprised fans.

Sara's Story Takes Internet By Storm

Sara put up a story of her picture with the caption "Can't Fool Me." Fans quickly linked the post to Gujarat Titans captain Shubman Gill. The duo’s history of playful social media exchanges and public curiosity around their bond has kept speculation alive, though neither has addressed the dating rumours.

While Sara’s post fuelled fresh chatter, Gill remains focused on his IPL 2025 campaign, balancing his rising cricket career with relentless off-field attention.

Fan Theories and Social Media Frenzy

The viral story prompted fans to flood Sara’s comments with references to Gill, with one user humorously noting, “Gill aata hi hoga” (Gill must be on his way). 

This reaction followed Sara’s recent appearance with influencer Orry Awatramani, which further amplified the buzz. Despite their frequent online interactions—liking and commenting on each other’s posts—the pair have kept their personal lives private, neither confirming nor denying the speculation.

Gill’s Cricket Priorities Amid the Noise

Amid the chatter, Gill continues to lead the Gujarat Titans in IPL 2025, solidifying his reputation as one of India’s most promising talents. 

After facing defeat against Punjab Kings, Shubman Gill managed to bounce back against Mumbai Indians and won the game by 36 runs. While Gill himself has been decent with the scores in his two outings, the batter intends to climb up the run ladder in future outings.

Gill & Co. is set to play against Royal Challengers Bengaluru on April 2 where the latter is coming off a 2-win streak.
