'India's Babar Azam,' Netizens Slam Shubman Gill After A Duck In 1st Test Vs Bangladesh
Shubman Gill failed to perform Vs BAN (X)
India and Bangladesh are locking horns against each other in the first Test match of the two-match series at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. Earlier in the match, Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto won the toss and invited India to bat first on a tricky track.
The 24-year-old Bangladeshi bowler Hasan Mahmud made a significant impact by taking advantage of the challenging batting conditions. Hasan Mahmud delivered a lethal spell with the new ball. The young bowler showcased class and temperament and took the early wicket of Rohit Sharma.
Hasan Mahmud Destroys India's Top Order
As the opener departed in the sixth over of the first innings, it was expected that the duo of Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli would step up for the team and build a partnership following an early setback. But Mahmud had different plans and in no time also trapped Gill and Kohli and India found themselves in a precarious situation.
Shubman Gill walked in at No. 3, he looked to bide his time but was finally dismissed for another low score in Test cricket. With this innings, his place in the team comes under even more scrutiny.
After another failure in the red-ball format, he was brutally trolled on social media for his flop show. While some advised him to play just the ODI format, some also called him the 'Babar Azam' of Indian cricket. In this article, let's take a look at some Twitter reactions.
Here Is How Fans Reacted To Gill's Poor Outing:
All the three wickets were taken by Hasan Mahmud. While opener Yashasvi Jaiswal is still at the crease, India will also expect their middle and lower order to bail them out of a tricky situation once again.
