After Duck In 1st Test vs Bangladesh Internet Roasts Shubman Gill says, “Babar Azam Of Indian Cricket”

On Thursday the fast bowler of team Bangladesh Hasan Mahmud ran riot in the morning session of the first Test against India in Chennai. After Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto invited the hosts to bat, Mahmud made early inroads with the ball, dismissing three of India’s top four batters. He took the wickets of Rohit Sharma (6), Shubman Gill (0) and Virat Kohli (6).

However, it was Gill’s dismissal which sparked a debate on social media, with fans claiming that the youngster is the Babar Azam of Indian cricket. As one of the fan wrote, “Shubman Gill proves me right everyday that he is Babar Azam of Indian Cricket who is playing in team just because of heavy PR investment and not because of his performance !! Another fan wrote, “Like if you think Shubman Gill does not deserve a place in the Indian team except for ODIs.”

It was an unusual dismissal as the ball was sliding down the leg side but Gill managed to get an edge to it.
