Shubman Gill has been the talk of the town recently, and not just for his sizzling batting form. While he’s been piling on the runs in the ongoing ODI series against England, his new haircut has also caught everyone’s attention.
Virat Kohli Takes a Dig at Shubman Gill’s New Hairstyle
From Instagram banter to on-field fun, Gill’s hairstyle seems to have a fan following of its own. The latest buzz? Virat Kohli joined the banter train and had a bit of fun at Gill’s expense.
In a video that’s now doing the rounds on social media, Kohli was caught on camera having a good laugh about Gill’s new look. Sitting in the dugout during the second ODI alongside Arshdeep Singh and Rishabh Pant, Kohli couldn’t help but joke about Gill’s haircut when the game was halted due to a floodlight failure.
The video went viral in no time, with fans having a field day at Shubman Gill’s expense. Comments rolled in, memes popped up and social media was buzzing with lighthearted jokes.
Yuvraj Singh’s Epic Roast
It all started when Gill first flaunted his new hairstyle on Instagram. While many fans loved the look, former India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh known for his razor-sharp wit couldn’t resist pulling Gill’s leg.
In a classic Punjabi quip, Yuvraj commented, "Te eh baalan da ki karna?" which translates to, "What's wrong with the hairstyle?" His playful remark went viral instantly, leaving fans in splits.
Gill Shines With The Bat
While his hairstyle is making waves, Gill’s performance with the bat is what really matters. The young opener has been in red-hot form, leading the run charts in the series with 147 runs in two innings. He’s hit back-to-back fifties, helping India clinch the series 2-0.
Gill’s consistency at the top has been a huge plus for Team India, but the same can’t be said for Kohli’s form. After missing the first ODI due to a knee injury, Kohli returned for the second match only to fall for a mere 5 runs. With the final ODI set for Wednesday, February 12, Kohli will be eager to get back in the groove and end the series on a high.
