WATCH: Did Ravindra Jadeja just tease Shubman Gill with Sara Tendulkar in presence of Sachin?
Amid cricket greats and cancer-awareness advocates, Jadeja's ragged grin and Gill's bashful grin proved more headline-grabbing than any speech. As fans dissect every frame, the playful moment has reignited whispers about Gill's connection to Sachin Tendulkar's daughter.
Playful exchange at the YouWeCan gala
When Jadeja leaned in toward Gill, cameras caught KL Rahul's amused reaction. Though Gill's face is only partially visible, his clearly wide and somewhat embarrassed smile suggested he understood exactly what Jadeja was hinting at.
Her mother Anjali appeared to notice the teasing but turned her gaze away, only creating further speculation about the nature of the interaction. The event was hosted by Yuvraj Singh to raise funds for cancer treatment, yet the cheeky exchange quietly stole the show.
Context behind the banter
The little jest has reignited a saga that began when fans spotted Gill and Sara interacting online years ago. Dating speculations faded after they unfollowed each other. Reports in May had linked Sara briefly to actor Siddhant Chaturvedi.
In April, Gill had also confirmed he'd been single for over three years, focusing on his cricket, per the publication. This, along with Jadeja's tease, has fans wondering if there's more to the dup than meets the eye.

'This Cap I Give To Very Few People': Shubman Gill Receives Heartwarming Gift From Sunil Gavaskar
India captain Shubman Gill received a special gift from 'Little Master' Sunil Gavaskar after he came close but stood too far from breaking his record for most runs by an Indian in a Test series. Shubman agonisingly fell 20 runs short of breaking Gavaskar's tally of 774 as he concluded the series with 754 runs to his name. With his robust technique, he looked poised for an extended stay on the case but was undone by a sharply nipping delivery from Gus Atkinson, punching his return ticket on 11(9). At the end of a throbbing contest on Day 3 of the fifth Test, Gavaskar met Gill, gifted a shirt with the SG initials and a special cap that he doesn't give to too many people. He hopes that after missing out on the elusive milestone by a whisker, he will strive for it in future assignments. "I have got a gift for you in anticipation of you going past (me). At least you got something to aim for in the next series. It is just a little gift. It is a shirt with SG initials, someone made it for me, I am giving this to you, but I don't know if it will fit you. This is a cap which I give to very few people with my signature. All the best," Gavaskar said after meeting Gill in a video posted by Sony Sports on X. A wholesome moment between Shubman Gill & Sunil Gavaskar #SonySportsNetwork #ENGvIND #NayaIndia #DhaakadIndia #TeamIndia #ExtraaaInnings | @ShubmanGill — Sony Sports Network (@SonySportsNetwk) August 2, 2025 Gill and Mohammed Siraj's tactical ploy was on display during the final moments before the day's end. India played a double bluff by setting up the field for a 'sweet chin music', but Siraj bowled a searing, angling yorker to rattle Zak Crawley's timber. Impressed by the brilliant piece of gambit, Gavaskar promised to wear his lucky jacket, hoping it would turn India's fortune. "That last over was fantastic. Sending a fielder over there, but then bowling the yorker. Tomorrow I am going to wear my lucky jacket, which I wore in Australia, the white one during the Gabba Test, on the last day," he concluded. In pursuit of a 374-run target, England opener Crawley and Ben Duckett raised a 50-run opening stand before the former departed on 14(36). As things stand, India is eight wickets shy of victory, while England needs 324 runs with two days left for play.

"I think in anticipation of him going past my record, I got something for him. But well, I mean, this is all in God's hands. But 754 runs, it's fantastic," he said on Sony Sports. "The difference is that 754 came with the additional responsibility of being captain. I was the baby of the team. You know, it wouldn't have mattered if I had failed. "Nobody would have given a hoot if I had failed. But to be the captain and score 750-plus runs—750-plus runs where he's making a difference to his side's fortunes. Don't go by those 20 runs, but just see what that 754 has done for Indian cricket." Following the day's play, Gavaskar presented Gill with a personalized shirt bearing his initials "SG" and a special autographed cap. "I have got a gift for you in anticipation of you going past (me). At least you've got something to aim for in the next series. It is just a little gift.

Watch: Gill Smiles As Crawley Wastes Time Again, Then Pulls Off Masterstroke
Last Updated: Gill and Crawley were seen smiling awkwardly after the latter pulled out of his stance at the Oval. But only one was smiling three balls later, thanks to an Indian masterstroke. There were awkward smiles all around when Zak Crawley pulled out of his batting stance before the second ball in the final over, bowled by Mohammed Siraj, at the Oval on Saturday (August 3). Cameras panned to Indian captain Shubman Gill — who had infamously told Crawley and his partner, Ben Duckett, to 'grow some ******* balls' two Tests ago for the same thing — and he was seen sheepishly smiling, too, perhaps controlling a full-blown laughter. Watch it here: Crawley tried an old trick, Captain Gill, however, answered with a smile 😊 #SonySportsNetwork #ENGvIND #NayaIndia #DhaakadIndia #TeamIndia #ExtraaaInnings — Sony Sports Network (@SonySportsNetwk) August 2, 2025 On Day 3 at Lord's, Crawley pulled out against Jasprit Bumrah twice and then went down with a finger injury. India and Gill felt he was trying to tick the clock to make sure Bumrah's was the last over of the day. The Indian skipper engaged in a lot of finger-pointing and sarcastic applause at Crawley, who eventually survived. It turned into a huge controversy, embroiling beyond the incident as Gill accused the England team of being 90 seconds late to the crease while the Englishman denied it. The after-effects of it have been felt in the remaining two Tests, leading to a lot of needle and tensions between the two teams. At the Oval, it was completely different. Before the fifth ball, Gill and Siraj came up with a smart, if obvious ploy. They asked the square leg fielder to go to the boundary ropes, a clear indication that the bowler was going to try for a bouncer to make Crawley pull one into his hands. However, Siraj bluffed him, sneaking in a searing in-swinging yorker. Crawley's feet didn't move and the ball went under his bat to clatter the timber. He got out for 14 (36), leaving England at 50/1 and giving the visitors a big boost going into the fourth (and likely the final) day of the series. Watch the wicket here: Crawley didn't want another over; Siraj made sure of it 🤷♂️ #SonySportsNetwork #ENGvIND #NayaIndia #DhaakadIndia #TeamIndia #ExtraaaInnings | @mdsirajofficial — Sony Sports Network (@SonySportsNetwk) August 2, 2025 England still need 328 runs to win the Test. Though the pitch is not the most difficult to bat on, England are without Ben Stokes and a batter short after Chris Woakes picked up an injury during the game. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
