Indian cricketer Shubman Gill recently found himself at the receiving end of social media criticism after being dismissed for a duck in the third Test against England in Rajkot. Gill, who had impressed with a century in the previous Test, faced a barrage of memes and mockery from fans on various platforms.
The Dismissal
Gill, coming in to bat early after the departure of opener Yashasvi Jaiswal, was expected to anchor India’s innings alongside captain Rohit Sharma. However, a delivery from Mark Wood caught Gill’s outside edge, resulting in a catch by wicketkeeper Ben Foakes.

The young cricketer’s dismissal sparked a flurry of memes and jokes on platforms like ‘X’, where fans didn’t hold back in expressing their disappointment and amusement. Shubman Gill became the subject of widespread trolling, with many poking fun at his brief innings.
India’s Situation
Shubman Gill’s early departure added to India’s woes, as they found themselves struggling at 33/3 within the first 10 overs of the innings. However, Rohit Sharma and Ravindra Jadeja stepped up to stabilize the innings and guide the team through a challenging phase.
While Gill’s duck may have disappointed fans, cricket is a game of uncertainties, and every player faces ups and downs. As India looks to bounce back in the Test match, supporters hope for a strong comeback from Gill and the team. Regardless of the outcome, the spirited reactions from fans on social media only highlight the passion and intensity surrounding the sport.
