Shubman Gill’s popularity seems to have skyrocketed ever since he was chosen to lead India into its new era in test cricket.
The absurdity and craziness of the situation are visible to such an extent that Gill’s test jerseys were selling like hotcakes during yesterday’s game between RCB and PBKS in Punjab.
Gill’s craze outshone the glamour of both Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer, with Punjab fans even celebrating the fact that Gill was preferred over Shreyas for the captaincy role.
One vendor selling the jerseys openly admitted, “We’re glad Gill got the captaincy beating Shreyas Iyer.”
With Gill’s popularity increasing rapidly, so is the trolling he has to face on the internet.
Many have come forward to question his abilities as a captain, pointing out his high-pitched voice and doubting his abilities to sledge on the field.
Gill has many points to prove in this upcoming test series. It will be interesting to see if he manages to fulfill them to shut the mouth of the trolls at last.
