“So I think the first time I heard this song (Range by Jassie Gill), this was the first song that I kind of knew word by word when I was about 13, 14 I would say. And why I picked this song was this. So the song was more about the car, Range Rover, and because of the song it just became my favorite car. I want, like, I was like whenever I get my first car it would be a Range Rover, and it was a Range Rover because of the song. I liked it so much,” he added.

However, Shubman Gill also shared the song he plays after an important match, especially when the team performs well.

“Big plays – Sickboi (Jxggi). Every time I finish a match, I play well or the team does well, I’d play this song. It’s like a hype-up song, and it’s like what I’m doing is what I truly love, and I’m doing well at this. Like, it’s a hype-up song. All of us are. So, there’s a big speaker there, and an iPad would be connected to it. So whenever anyone wants to listen to a song, they would just play their song,” Shubman Gill concluded.
