Day 1 of the third Test at The Gabba was more about rain than runs, but Sara Tendulkar made sure she grabbed some attention. Spotted in the stands, Sachin Tendulkar’s daughter was casually cheering for Team India while sitting in front of cricket legends Zaheer Khan and Harbhajan Singh.
But wait, was she there for cricket or someone special? Rumour has it, Sara is dating Indian batter Shubman Gill, who’s in the playing XI for this match. Naturally, fans couldn’t help but speculate if she was there to cheer for her 'special someone' while the rain kept the action off the field.
Sara’s Instagram Post Gets Everyone Talking
As the rain washed out most of the day, Sara took the buzz off-field with her Instagram post. She shared a bunch of pictures—some with Zaheer Khan, Sagarika Ghatge, Ishan Khatter, Chandni Bainz, Saiyami Kher, Kabir Khan, and Prachi Desai, and a few solo shots that stole the limelight.
In her pictures, Sara rocked a stunning blue dress and captioned it, “~ washed out and feeling blue (in the best way possible).”
Fans couldn’t keep calm. Comments poured in, praising her look while also poking fun about Shubman Gill being the possible reason behind her visit to The Gabba.
AUS vs IND: Rain Plays Spoilsport on Day 1
Meanwhile, on the field, it was a frustrating day for both teams. The rain allowed just 13.2 overs of play before calling the shots. Usman Khawaja, playing in front of his home crowd, looked solid as he and Nathan McSweeny kept India’s bowlers at bay. Australia ended the day at 28/0, with Jasprit Bumrah and company unable to get any breakthroughs.
What’s Next at The Gabba?
The forecast isn’t looking good, with more rain and thunderstorms expected in the coming days. Fans will be hoping for a miracle from the weather gods so the Test can actually get going.
As for Sara Tendulkar, her presence has added an interesting twist to the washed-out day. Was she there to cheer for Team India or her rumoured beau Shubman Gill? Either way, she became the centre of attention in a day where cricket took a backseat.
The Gabba might be gloomy, but the buzz around Sara and Shubman has surely brightened things up for the fans. Now, let’s hope the rain takes a break so we can finally see some action on Day 2.
