After a few good outings, the young Gujarat opener Shubman Gill has faced a big blow in the ongoing match against LSG. He couldn’t even get off the mark and went back to the pavilion on a duck off 2 balls. Gill fell prey to LSG’s star all-rounder Krunal Pandya just in the second over of the first innings.
Subsequently, a section of Indian cricket fans immediately took to Twitter to brutally troll the 23-year-old young batter. Fans went on to say that it’s only the flat tracks where Shubman Gill can showcase his batting abilities and he can’t do anything things go even an inch to some other side during the match.
Here’s how fans reacted:
Your generational talent is a Flat track bully
