Shubman Gill said that Abhishek Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal are his friends and there is no unhealthy competition between them.

Vice-captain Shubman Gill said he enjoyed watching 'friend' Abhishek Sharma find success in the T20I series against England, ruling out 'toxic competition' in the team. Gill will be Rohit Sharma's deputy in the upcoming ODI series.
