Earlier, Sara was also asked, whether she would be open to marrying a cricketer like her grandmother Sharmila Tagore, the 28-year-old stated profession doesn’t matter to her. “I think that the kind of person that I am, to find somebody it doesn’t matter what they do — actor, cricketer, businessman, doctor… Maybe not doctors, they will run away.
“But you know the truth is that jokes apart, you will need to match me on the mental and intellectual level. And if you can do that, I think it’s great, wow but I think that would matter to me much, much more (than the profession),” Sara was quoted as saying to a news outlet.
As far as Gill is concerned, the Indian opener didn’t lived up to the expectation as everyone would have expected. The right-hander has played six games, scoring 219 runs at a strike rate of 96.90. His two fifties came against Bangladesh (53) and Sri Lanka (92), both in winning cause.
Meanwhile, India have been the most dominant side in the tournament winning all their eight games so far, en route to the semifinals.
