Gill has now become the fourth Indian captain to be invited to the Royal Box at Wimbledon, following in the footsteps of Tendulkar, Virat Kohli, and Rohit Sharma. He is also among the few Indian cricketers to visit the iconic grass courts this year, joining Shikhar Dhawan, Deepti Sharma, and Sachin Tendulkar.

Notably, former West Indies cricket star Brian Lara was also present in the Royal Box, a section reserved for distinguished guests invited by the All England Club.

During their time in the Royal Box, both Gill and Tendulkar mingled with various international celebrities, including a meeting between Gill and fashion icon Anna Wintour.
