India’s Test and ODI skipper Shubman Gill is currently in Adelaide, gearing up for the second ODI against Australia on Thursday (October 23). But before the must-win clash at Adelaide Oval , Gill found himself in the middle of an unexpected viral moment.
While casually walking through the streets of Adelaide, a fan approached him for a handshake. What followed caught everyone off guard the fan suddenly chanted “Pakistan Zindabad.” Gill’s surprised reaction to the moment was captured on camera and is now making waves online.
Gill, who took over India’s ODI captaincy from Rohit Sharma earlier this month, recently faced Pakistan three times during the Asia Cup in Dubai. Though he couldn’t convert his starts scoring 10, 47, and 12 runs India dominated all three encounters against their arch-rivals.
Now, as India prepares for the second ODI against Australia, the focus shifts back to the field. The team faces a must-win situation after losing the opener in Perth by seven wickets. Gill managed just 10 runs in that match and will be eager to lead from the front in Adelaide.
Fans will also be watching Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, both returning to competitive cricket after over seven months. However, their comeback was far from ideal Kohli fell for a duck, and Rohit added just eight runs.
As the Indian side looks to bounce back, Gill will aim to silence critics with his bat and guide India to a series levelling victory. And while his off field viral moment has grabbed attention, the real statement he’ll want to make is on the pitch.
