India’s T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav recently shared an interesting superstition of Test and ODI skipper Shubman Gill. Suryakumar was last seen in action when he led the team to victory in the 2025 Asia Cup, defeating Pakistan in the final to clinch the title as well.

He said in an interview with News24,  “Let me tell you the latest superstition of Shubman Gill. Someone actually asked me about this during the Asia Cup as well. I had noticed it back in 2022, I still remember, maybe it started in 2022 or 2023. He’s the only player who wears pads of a completely different colour. If you’ve noticed, he wears very light blue pads, and since the time he started wearing them, he’s been scoring runs continuously. Those pads haven’t changed till today.”

“Even in the Asia Cup, he wore the same color pads. I noticed that many times and even mentioned it, because our jersey’s pant color code is different, but his pads’ color code is totally different. So I’ve told him many times, brother, I think this is your superstition,” he further added.

However, Suryakumar Yadav is all set to return to action when India take on Australia in a five-match T20I series, beginning October 29 in Canberra as well.
