'By The Order Of...': Shubman Gill's Hilarious Post From Birmingham Goes Viral
Last Updated:
Shubman Gill's Instagram post with Arshdeep Singh and Mohammed Siraj has gone viral ahead of the second Test against England at Edgbaston.
India Test skipper Shubman Gill's latest Instagram post has gone viral on social media, where he is seen posing with Arshdeep Singh and Mohammed Siraj in a funny way, ahead of the second Test against England at Edgbaston in Birmingham, where India come 0-1 down in the five-match series.
India lost the opening Test despite five of their batters scoring hundreds, as England chased down 371 in the fourth innings to take a 1-0 lead in the five-match series.
Gill himself scored a century and all fans must have expected a brilliant start to his Test captaincy career, but that was not to be. But the star Indian batter was in a goofy mood as the team went around Birmingham.
'By the order of the cheeky blinders 😎," Gill captioned the post on his Instagram handle.
Notably, the Peaky Blinders were a street gang based in Birmingham, which operated from the 1880s until the 1920s. The group consisted of young criminals from lower to working-class backgrounds.
The story of this gang became popular across the world when a TV series was made on it in 2013, and even 12 years later, it remains one of the most popular series on Netflix. A movie is also slated to release on the gang.
Meanwhile, Gill scored 147 in India's first innings total of 471 and just eight runs in the second innings.
Gill admitted that the lower-order collapse in both innings did cost them during the five-wicket loss to England.
India collapsed from 430/3 in the first innings to 471, losing seven wickets for 41 runs and in the second, they crumbled to 364 all-out from 333/4, losing six wickets for 31 runs.
Playing his first Test as captain, Gill conjured up a sublime unbeaten 127 that was packed with glorious drives. India ended Day 1 at a solid 359/3, making the English attack look pedestrian.
Notably, this will be the first time that Gill will be playing at Edgbaston and the pressure is expected to be a lot, especially while leading as well as handling the defeat of the first Test.
