India’s young guns secured a thumping 10-wicket win over Zimbabwe with a record-breaking partnership of 156 runs between Yashasvi Jaiswal (93 off 53 balls) and Shubman Gill (58 off 39 balls) for the first wicket, guiding India to victory in just 15.2 overs.
Some fans on X (formerly Twitter) criticized skipper Shubman Gill for what they deemed a ‘selfish innings’. They blamed him for preventing Yashasvi Jaiswal from reaching a well-deserved century. According to these fans, Gill accelerated his scoring pace to secure a quick series win for India, instead of allowing Jaiswal more opportunities to score and potentially finish with a century.
Check below some reactions…
I haven’t seen more selfish player and than Shubman Gill. When Yashasvi Jaiswal at 83, India required 23 runs. Yashasvi Jaiswal would have scored his century but Shubman Gill didn’t give him strike.
You gotta feel for Jaiswal#YashasviJaiswal#ShubmanGill#Selfish#INDVZIM

Shubman Gill removed Abhishek Sharma from opening after he scored a century and then suddenly accelerated when Yashasvi Jaiswal was nearing a 100.
Show someone more selfish than him to wear the Indian team jersey.
