IND vs ENG: “Flat Pitch Prince” – Shubman Gill Trolled After Cheap Dismissal At Manchester
Shubman Gill trolled after misjudging a straight ball and getting LBW in the must-win Manchester Test vs England.
Shubman Gill found himself at the receiving end of online trolling after a poor decision cost him his wicket in the ongoing Manchester Test.
The Indian skipper was dismissed for just 12 runs off 23 balls after he chose to leave a Ben Stokes delivery that angled sharply into the stumps. The ball struck Gill’s pads and the umpire had no hesitation in giving him out LBW.

What shocked fans wasn’t the dismissal, but the manner in which it happened. It was a straight ball heading towards the stumps, and Gill’s choice to leave it was seen as a bizarre misjudgment.
The internet didn’t spare him, with many fans calling it a “brain-fade moment” and questioning his awareness in such a high-pressure game.
India are already trailing 2–1 in the five-match series, and the Manchester Test is a must-win for them. After losing the toss, India were sent in to bat first under overcast skies.
Earlier, KL Rahul gave India a solid start with a fluent 46, while Yashasvi Jaiswal continued his form and added 58 runs at the other end.
