Despite the innings, Shubman Gill continues to attract flak on social media. It is as if a section of fans do not want the India captain to do well. If you praise him, you are automatically labelled PR. Why it is so defies logic. But the truth is Gill is one of the most trolled players on social media for no fault of his own. Maybe the fan clubs for Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and others see him as a threat. They realise that he is the future and will take away the mantle from some of these legends, and hence he is the subject of intense trolling at the drop of a hat. So far, it has not bothered Gill and he has only become better. The 154 was evidence that Gill is indeed on the right track. For himself and for India.

🚨 HISTORY BY CAPTAIN SHUBMAN GILL 🚨

Gill becomes the fastest Indian to complete 3000 runs in ODI history.

Caught us staring in awe, Skipper! 🤩🤩

The reason why Manav Suthar is rated very highly is crystal clear in this picture.

It’s not just the angle of rotation or over spin, it’s also the speed at which it is rotating.

He has a distinct advantage alongside Harsh Dubey in this regard👌

Dropped before T20 World Cup, Shubman Gill keeps calm and lets his bat do the talking. Scores 100 to lead the highest run chase in play offs. 700 plus runs, strike rate of 164, MoM in do-or-die game. Gill comes back with a roar. Next is his first IPL final as captain. What a story.

It’s a disservice to journalism to call what Keane is doing against Bruno and United a feud. Call what it is.

Keane lied in public and attacked a player for no reason. He hasn’t apologized for it. Call his lie out.

[Manchester United @ManUtd]

No-one does it like him.

Bruno Fernandes is the Premier League Player of the Year 🤩❤️

I’ve just seen the TOUGHEST Bruno edit ever 😤🔥

Pay the money and get Anderson.

BRUNO FERNANDES EQUALS THE PREMIER LEAGUE ASSIST RECORD.

All the players are walking out with their children. What a beautiful touch from Manchester United. Special club. ❤️

[Boria Majumdar @BoriaMajumdar]

I see a number of posts crediting Ashish Nehra for the GT run of wins. Indeed it is deserved.

But isn’t it fair to give the skipper equal credit? For he’d have been the one to face flak if the team did not do well?

Shubman deserves the credit as much. @RevSportzGlobal

Shubman Gill did not ask to carry a billion dollar franchise on his shoulders. He just asked to bat. But when Hardik Pandya walked back to Mumbai Indians, Gujarat Titans needed a face, Gill was 25 & suddenly the most important boy in Ahmedabad.

His numbers since have been obscene. 4000+ runs before 27. No one his age has ever scored more in IPL. But it is not just volume. It is the method. He is the only batter in IPL history to score 4000+ runs while averaging above 40 & striking above 140. Everyone else chose one or the other. Gill chose both.

Since 2023, he has made 2428 runs in 55 innings at 49.5 average & 156 strike rate(Highest among all batters). His strike rate is higher than Jos Buttler in that stretch. higher than Sanju Samson. And he does not have luxury of an explosive middle or lower order to hide behind. No finisher to clean up if he fails. If Gill does not score, Gujarat Titans does not post a big total. He has to be consistent & aggressive in same breath.

He does it with a calm that looks almost rude. He kills spin in middle overs & gives his supreme bowling attack something to defend. Rashid Khan, Siraj, Rabada, Holder; all of them firing , but even they need runs. Gill provides them like rent coming due, taking Gujarat Titans to the top of the table with permanent consistency of his top order.

At Ahmedabad stadium, he owns the place. Over 1300 runs there, 3 hundreds, average above 50 with 163 strike rate. Crowd comes to see their boy. He is no longer the kid from Fazilka who looked too pretty to be tough. He is the landlord of Ahmedabad & everyone else is just visiting.

1. Just got off a call with @UnSubtleDesi. I couldn't be happier for her and both of us couldn't help but discuss the harrowing days of post poll violence in West Bengal in 2021. So I am going to share what happened five years ago just so ppl know what happened. #WestBengal2026.
