Gill also is the owner of a property in Mohali, near the Punjab Cricket Association Stadium, where his cricketing journey began to take shape.

Gill’s car collection may not be as expansive as some of his cricketing peers, but it still exhibits a blend of luxury and performance, and he still has a long time to keep adding to his collection. He owns a Range Rover Velar - a luxury SUV; a Mercedes-Benz E350 - an E-class premium sedan aimed at offering performance and comfort; and a Mahindra Thar - the off-roader that was gifted by Anand Mahindra.

Passions & Off-Field Interests

Gill is an admirer of football, and he is an ardent supporter of Lionel Messi, calling him the “GOAT” (Greatest Of All Time).
