India’s Test and ODI captain Shubman Gill says he keeps himself away from “external factors” to manage pressure both on and off the field. The comment comes amid discussion in Indian cricket circles, including chatter involving fellow captain Rohit Sharma, and follows guidance reported as advising players to avoid social media. According to NDTV, the BCCI has clarified its position on the matter, indicating that the board’s stance is consistent with encouraging players to focus on performance rather than reactions online. Gill’s remarks frame the approach as part of his method for handling pressure, suggesting that limiting exposure to non-cricket influences helps him maintain calm and decision-making during key moments. The report does not indicate any specific disciplinary action, but it highlights the BCCI’s communication on the issue and the broader emphasis on player mental focus. Overall, the sources agree that the episode centers on guidance about social media use and Gill’s stated preference to reduce exposure to external noise.
