A banging match of IPL 2025 was seen at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, where Gujarat Titans faced Chennai Super Kings.
All eyes were on India’s new Test captain Shubman Gill, who was also captaining Gujarat.
Fans expected Gill to set fire with his batting, but the opposite happened, Gill got caught in the slip after scoring just 13 runs. Then what, fans trolled him fiercely on social media.
Shubham Gill got caught in the slip!
CSK captain Dhoni showed cleverness in the match. In the third over, Gill was deceived by placing a slip fielder.
Gill tried to play an aggressive shot on Anshul Kamboj’s ball, but the slight movement of the ball took the edge of his bat. Urvil Patel took an easy catch in the slip, and Gill’s game was over!
Fans immediately linked it to the England tour, where Gill was seen making such mistakes repeatedly.
Trolls on X wrote,
“England’s trailer shown in IPL!”
Some even called it a “classic English dismissal”.
Some joked, “Gill’s bat has already got stuck in the slips in England.”
Gill’s record abroad was also targeted by fans. His average in 15 Tests is just 27.54, and in England it drops to 14.66.
Fans are worried that if Gill keeps getting out like this, then Test captaincy may be difficult. Especially when India has to play a Test series in England soon.
