[Watch] “Aankh Dikhata hai” – Ishan Kishan recreates Gangaajal movie scene with Shubman Gill
Indian cricketers Ishan Kishan and Shubman Gill, who are part of India’s squad for the ongoing Asia Cup 2023, share a great camaraderie off the field. The duo often shares hilarious videos on social media.
In a viral clip on X (formerly known as Twitter), Kishan recreated one of the famous scenes of the 2003 Bollywood movie Gangaajal. Originally shot in Tejpur, Bihar, the Ajay Devgn-starrer was one of the highest-grossing Indian films that year.
The Bihar-born cricketer along with Mohammed Siraj was seen applying cake all over Gill’s face as Axar Patel held him from the back.

For the uninitiated, Shubman Gill celebrated his birthday with the Indian cricketer team on September 8.
On the professional front, he recently smashed consecutive half-centuries against Nepal and Pakistan in the ongoing Asia Cup 2023. The right-handed opener, however, departed for 19 off 25 balls against Sri Lanka.
Kishan, on the other hand, recently stole the limelight for his exploits with the bat against Pakistan. The left-handed batter scored 82 runs off 81 balls in the group stage. He, however, failed to score big against Sri Lanka, scoring 33 off 61 balls. The Men in Blue, though, won the game by 41 runs.
