People need to stop shipping him with literally anyone he is seen with 😂 first he was shipped with Sara Tendulkar, then with Ishan Kishan and now people are trying to ship him with Abhishek also 😂 Matlab much bhi 😂 Abhishek and Shubman are just best friends but if fans notice closeness between two teammates they will never leave the chance of putting romantic allegations on them.
