Gujarat Titans skipper Shubman Gill scored a sluggish 43 from 46 balls against Mumbai Indians in match 56 of the IPL 2025 season. Opening the innings in a chase of 156, Gill unfurled three boundaries and one huge six at the Wankhede Stadium after the early dismissal of in-form opening partner Sai Sudharsan.

However, Shubman’s inability of enhancing Titans’ scoring rate allowed Mumbai Indians bowlers to crawl back into the game after a rain delay.

Shubman Gill trolled by fans for “selfish knock”

By scoring 43 runs from 46 balls, Shubman Gill batted with a strike rate of 93.47 against Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium on May 6. As one can expect, his innings drew sharp reactions from a legion of Indian cricket fans on social media.

While several fans outright trolled the Gujarat Titans skipper and alleged that the prolific opener played a “selfish knock”, others jokingly claimed that the 25-year-old merely auditioned to find a place in the Indian Test team for their upcoming five-match tour of England next month.

As it happened, it took a peach of a delivery from Jasprit Bumrah to get rid of Shubman Gill during the decisive stages of the run-chase.

Regardless of his latest knock, Gill has maintained a batting strike rate of an astonishing 152.55 this IPL 2025 season with 508 runs from just 11 innings.
