A lighthearted exchange involving Shubman Gill’s father, Lakhwinder Singh, has gone viral after a fan questioned him about the star batter’s marriage plans – specifically asking whether Gill would be marrying Sara Tendulkar, daughter of legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar.

The incident took place during the first Test between India and South Africa at Eden Gardens, where a curious fan approached Singh and cheekily asked, “Uncle Ji, Gill bhai ka shaadi kab karwa rahe ho?” (Hello Uncle, when are you getting our brother Shubman married?). The fan also hinted at the long-standing rumours linking Team India captain to Sara.

“Sara madam se karwa rahe ho ki nahi?” (Are you getting him married to Sara madam or not?)

Gill’s father responded with a smile, saying the decision will be entirely Shubman’s, adding that the family is placing no pressure on him regarding marriage. His good-natured reply quickly spread across social media platforms, reigniting discussions about Gill’s personal life.

Although fans often speculate about his relationship status, Gill has emphasized that his busy cricket schedule, travel demands and preparation leave little time for romantic relationships. He remains focused on maintaining consistency as India’s Test captain and a key member of the national squad.

For her part, Sara Tendulkar has not publicly addressed the ongoing speculation. Those close to her say she has occasionally joked about hypothetical relationships and family life in private conversations, but she has made no comment linking herself to Shubman.

Both she and Gill have maintained a respectful distance from the rumours, avoiding media-driven narratives and focusing on their professional commitments.

The viral interaction between Gill’s father and the Kolkata fans underscores the enormous public curiosity surrounding the personal lives of India’s cricket stars. For fans, such moments humanize their sporting idols – adding a touch of humour and warmth.

However, Lakhwinder Singh’s calm, measured response highlights that family and marriage decisions rest with Shubman alone, and that cricket remains his primary priority.

As Gill continues leading India in high-pressure series and anchoring the batting lineup, fans may remain curious – but both the cricketer and his family appear unfazed by the attention.
