Virat who? Ex-cricketer forgets Virat Kohli's name after Shubman Gill's animated celebration
Image credit: AFP NEW DELHI: Shubman Gill burst into an animated celebration after Mohammed Siraj dismissed Joe Root during a crucial phase of the match. The Indian Test captain charged toward Siraj, pointing at him in a way that clearly signaled their well-executed plan had worked perfectly. But the joy was short-lived. Root immediately reviewed the decision, and the DRS showed a faint edge was missing — the on-field call was overturned, and the former England skipper survived. Watching Gill's exuberance, former India batter Sanjay Manjrekar couldn't help but draw comparisons. He said Gill's reaction reminded him of someone familiar — someone who used to bat at No. 4. Without naming him, the hint was obvious: Virat Kohli . Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! 'Who is this — Shubman Gill or someone else?' Manjrekar said on air. 'When he bats, he seems so calm, composed — a completely different personality. Captain Gill, we are seeing this version for the first time. His celebration… it reminded me of someone, but I'm struggling to place it. MS Dhoni never celebrated like that from mid-on, and it's definitely not Rohit Sharma 's style. Could be a No. 4 batter... My third guess would be Ajit Wadekar,' he added, sparking laughter in the commentary box, with Varun Aaron and Navjot Singh Sidhu joining in. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Gill's day wasn't just about fiery reactions.
