During the event, Kohli’s remark brought about a wave of amusement as he jovially remarked, “Sita-Gita. Ishan Kishan and Shubman Gill. I don’t know what’s the matter with them. I can’t say much about it. (laughs).” “Nothing serious about it. They are best friends. Basically they can’t be away from each other. On tours, whenever you call them for a meal, both will come together. I haven’t seen them alone.“
