'Overrated': Shubman Gill Brutally Trolled After Registering Duck In IND vs ENG Rajkot Test
Shubman Gill never looked comfortable at the crease right from the word go and was ultimately dismissed by Mark Wood for a nine-ball duck in the sixth over.
India cricket team star Shubman Gill, who recently enjoyed success by scoring a century in the Hyderabad (2nd) Test, was out for a 9-ball duck on Day 1 (Thursday, February 15) of the ongoing IND vs ENG 3rd Test at Saurashtra Cricket Stadium in Rajkot, Gujarat.
Rohit Sharma's decision to bat first, after winning the toss, appeared to have slightly backfired as India lost quick wickets and found themselves struggling at 33/3. Both Jaiswal and Gill fell cheaply, the former to Wood and the latter to Hartley, with Patidar following suit to Hartley. However, the promotion of seasoned all-rounder Jadeja to number five, along with Rohit's aggressive batting, steadied India's ship, guiding them to 93/3 at Lunch after 25 overs on Day 1.
Despite experiencing remarkable success across ODIs and T20Is in 2023, 24-year-old Gill has struggled to replicate that achievement in Tests. In his last 12 innings in the longest format, the newly-appointed Gujarat Titans skipper has managed only one fifty-plus score.
Shubman Gill's scores in his last 12 Test innings: 13, 18, 6, 10, 29*, 2, 26, 23, 0, 34, 104, 0
Gill never looked comfortable at the crease right from the word go and was ultimately dismissed by Mark Wood for a nine-ball duck in the sixth over. Fans on X (formerly Twitter) brutally trolled the rising star for his failure in the Rajkot Test. Check below some reactions...
