New Delhi: Shubman Gill broke into a animated celebration after Mohammed Siraj rejected Joe Root during a crucial game phase. The Indian test captain instructed Siraj, pointing to him in a way that clearly pointed out that their well -executed plan had worked perfectly. But the joy was short -lived. Root immediately examined the decision, and the DR showed that a low advantage was missing – the call on the ground was canceled and the former skipper of England survived.Looking at the exuberance of Gill, the former striker of India Sanjay Manjrekar could not help making comparisons. He said that Gill’s reaction reminded him of someone familiar – someone who used to beat at n ° 4. Without named him, the trick was obvious: Virat Kohli.“Who is it – Shubman Gill or someone else?” Manjrekar said on the antenna.
“When he beats, he seems so calm, composed – a completely different personality. Captain Gill, we see this version for the first time. His celebration… it reminded me of someone, but I find it hard to place it. Varun Aaron and Navjot Singh Sidhu join.Gill’s day was not one of the inflamed reactions.
