Ever since Shubman Gill took command of Team India, his bat has been seen speaking continuously. Gill, who scored runs while making his captaincy debut in the Test series on the England tour, had converted even his critics into fans. He got the reward for this strong performance in the form of captaincy of the ODI team and on the Australia tour, Gill also started his ODI captaincy. But here his start was not the same and Gill made a mistake which caused loss to him and Team India. A girl present in the stadium also started cursing him.
The ODI series between India and Australia started in Perth from 19th October and in the very first match, Team India’s batting looked defeated. Every fan was waiting for the return of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli for a long time but both of them flopped miserably. Rohit returned to the pavilion after scoring only 8 runs, while Virat could not even open his account. In such a situation, all eyes were on the new captain Gill to see whether he would be able to get the team out of the difficult situation. Gill had started well and also hit two excellent fours.
In such a situation, when Gill seemed set at the crease and had faced the Starc-Hazlewood pair well, then he made a mistake. Gill tampered with the very first ball of the new bowler Nathan Ellis, who came in the 10th over, due to which he and the team had to suffer the consequences. Actually, Ellis’ ball was outside the line of leg stump and Gill tried to play it towards fine leg but he failed. The ball touched his bat and went towards the wicketkeeper, who made no mistake in jumping to his left and taking the catch.
What happened next, as soon as Gill was out, the Indian fans became disappointed and sat down holding their heads. But among the thousands of Indian fans, there was one girl who did not like Gill’s mistake. This fan, sitting in the Optus Stadium wearing the blue jersey of Team India, was seen cursing the Indian captain fiercely for his mistake. This girl’s reaction went viral on social media in no time.
