Ishan Kishan tells Shubman Gill to ease up

Just before the high-voltage encounter against Pakistan in the Asia Cup 2023, Team India is all relaxed and chilled out, at least the video released by BCCI shows it. As the prevalent times demand the players to be present more than just on the ground, the team wore the blue jersey but not to perspire on the field rather to brandish themselves in front of the camera. The squad gathered and entertainment ensued. 

Ishan Kishan came out as the most vocal from the outing. In one instance he was shown telling Shubman Gill to ease up. "Hass bhi le thoda, Gussa hai kya? Acche se has na, Sharma mat (Laugh a bit, are you angry? Laugh heartily, don't be shy)", are the words Kishan uttered to Gill. An intense Shubaman Gill took Kishan's advice to fruition and let go of himself.  

Aside from the Gill-Kishan tale, another major highlight of the session--which Mohd. Siraj enjoyed-- was Shami taking off his cap. Moreover, Axar Patel showcased that he got some moves under his belt. Watch the entire clip released by BCCI.
