Shubman Gill: Abusive abuses given to umpire after being dismissed, when Shubman Gill created ruckus

New Delhi: Team India has found its new run machine. Just a few days ago, Ishaan Kishan had scored a double century in ODIs, and now Shubman Gill has done this feat. Gill played a record-breaking inning of 208 runs in 49 balls in the first ODI against New Zealand in Hyderabad, which included 19 fours and 9 sixes. In this dashing innings, Shubman showed how much patience he has, but there was a time early in his career when this patient-looking boy put the Gentlemen’s Game to shame.

This was the time of the year 2020. Three years ago in January, the contest between Punjab and Delhi was going on at the IS Bindra Stadium in Mohali. This was the fourth round match. Shubman was playing for his home team Punjab, but there was a ruckus on the very first day of the match, when he refused to leave the field after being dismissed. Actually, in the match, Punjab won the toss and batted first. Gill and Sanveer Singh handled the opening.

In the very second over, Sanveer kept on walking and soon Shubman Gill was also dismissed. He was caught by the keeper behind the wicket, but Shubman looked unhappy with the umpire’s decision and refused to leave the crease. Shubman refused to leave the ground. He abused umpire Mohammad Rafi. This was Rafi’s first match as an umpire. Under such pressure, he spoke to the leg umpire and overturned the decision.

The opposing team Delhi did not like the decision of the umpire to be changed under pressure. Delhi bowlers refused to bowl. The entire team left the field under the leadership of its captain Nitish Rana. Eventually match referee P. Ranganathan intervened and got the match restarted. By then Shubman Gill had made his debut in Team India. Had played two matches, but despite this life-giving, he could not play a big innings. Then Shubman Gill, who was 20 years old, became a victim of Simarjit Singh. His catch was caught by Anuj Rawat for 23 runs in 41 balls.
