Shubman Gill Arrives In Mumbai After Winning Champions Trophy
Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport: India vice-captain Shubman Gill arrived in Mumbai after lifting the ICC Champions Trophy title in Dubai. He was seen coming out of the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport on Tuesday evening. India defeated New Zealand by four wickets in the final on Sunday to claim the third title in the eight-team tournament. India became the most successful team in the Champions Trophy, surpassing Australia's feat of two titles.
The 25-year-old opener accumulated 188 runs in five matches, including an unbeaten century against Bangladesh in the opening match. He also played a crucial knock of 46 runs, along with Virat Kohli (100 not out), against arch-rivals Pakistan in India's six-wicket win.
It was Gill's first ICC title after missing the opportunity to get the hands-on experience of the silverware in last year's T20 World Cup in Barbados. He was not part of the 15-member squad and was only limited to the four-player reserve list.
