Indian batter Shubman Gill faced social media backlash after scoring an 8-ball duck in the first Test against Bangladesh at Chennai's MA Chidambaram Stadium. Dismissed by Hasan Mahmud, Gill was caught behind by Liton Das, failing to replicate his recent form from a century against England. Fans compared him to Pakistan’s Babar Azam, accusing Gill of being in the team due to PR, not performance. Despite Gill’s failure, Yashasvi Jaiswal (56) and Rishabh Pant (39) helped India cross 300 runs by the end of Day 1, with Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja adding 150-plus for the seventh wicket.
