Shubman, Sister Shahneel Abused On Social Media After RCB's Elimination

-

Gujarat Titans opening batter Shubman Gill continued his purple patch in the Indian Premier League 2023, scoring his second successive hundred on Sunday. Gill's century powered the Titans to another victory in the competition but the result also saw Virat Kohli's Royal Challengers Bangalore exit from the tournament. While wins and losses are part of the sport, a section of fans didn't take RCB's loss well and started to abuse Gill on social media. Even Gill's sister Shahneel was targeted by some fans, especially over her Instagram post after the match.

"What a wholesum day," Gill's sister Shahneel wrote on Insta while sharing a few pictures from the match. A number of fans wrote hateful comments on the post for both Shahneel and Shubman.

Seeing the lewd comments for Gill and his sister, many fans took to Twitter and slammed those hurling abuse.

While certain fans weren't happy to see Gill putting an end to RCB's campaign in the 16th edition of the T20 league, there was absolutely no animosity between him and Kohli because of the result. In fact, after the match, Kohli was seen acknowledging Gill's knock with a hug.

"I am in good form, it's about getting a start and then converting it into a big one. In the first half of the IPL, I was missing out on those big ones. I was getting a lot of 40s and 50s. Thankfully, it's all working out for me in the business end of the IPL. You need to keep playing shots in T20 cricket. You have to keep the intent and keep applying yourself, keep the belief," Gill said after the match.

Even GT skipper Hardik Pandya was full of praise for Gill and Kohli in the post-match presentation ceremony.

"He knows when he plays those cricketing shots and bats like a batter, it's a different Shubman Gill. Today, the kind of options he picked and the kind of places where he was hitting, as a bowler he doesn't give any chance. That makes him very special and the other batter gets confidence from him as well. We would have taken 197 at the start, but we didn't bowl well. Special innings from Virat, he batted well but we went too early for death bowling," he said.

The defending champions Gujarat Titans would now face Chennai Super Kings in the Qualifier 1 on May 23, hoping to book their spot in the May 28 final.

In Meeting With Rohit , BCCI Sets Strict Hardik T20 WC Selection Condition

-
n already-troubled Hardik Pandya could be in for a big setback if things don't go his way in the ongoing Indian Premier League (PL) 2024. While the batter Hardik is yet to fire, having only scored 131 runs in 6 matches at an average of 26.20 this season. With the ball, Hardik has been fairly inconsistent to even take up the responsibility. He has barely bowled in the last 4 matches, and when he has, the opponent team's batters have ripped him apart. With a place in India's T20 World Cup 2024 squad, Pandya has reportedly been sent a clear message from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) selection committee. As per a report in the Indian Express , a meeting was held between India head coach Rahul Dravid , chairman of the selection committee Ajit Agarkar and captain Rohit Sharma at the BCCI headquarters in Mumbai last week. In the meeting, the topic of Hardik's selection came up, with the management asserting the need for him to bowl regularly in order to
