Eng vs Ind: Indian fans cruelly slap Shubman Gill for a heartless runout on day 1 of the oval test
London’s historic oval set the stage for another dramatic chapter England vs India The rivalry began its fifth and final tests on July 31, 2025. Series and pride are on the line, and both teams approached the contest with edge-on nerves, further heightened by cloudy London skies and green wickets. England chose to pick the field first and attempted to exploit the active situation while the Indians led the best order by the captain Shubman Gillbraces for stern inspection. But it was Gill’s own careless moment that ruled the conversation that day, which infuriated Indian supporters all over the world.
Shubman Gill packs after day 1 of the oval test
In international cricket, a second can turn into a saga. For Gill, it was the 28th time, minutes after play resumed during the rain break. surface Gus AtkinsonGill played softly towards offside and impulsively set off for a single. This seemed unwise from the start. Sai Sudarsan Hesitantly stopped, but Gill slid across the wet surface already midway through the pitch and as he returned in his desperate attempt. Atkinson swooped like before, flying the stump with a direct hit, leaving him running 21 runs from 35 balls. The oval was silent, except for the English cheers, but the TV cameras caught an Indian fan, breathing in disbelief. Social media was immediately lit up with a furious response. This is a “brain fade” trend as fans vented at the captain’s strange decision. For Gill, the moment was double bitter, making it the second time he’s been in his Test/career and both lacking against the UK.

That Rishabh Pant was costly for India’s third test. This Shubman gill is gone, I dare say, this series may cost India. #indvseng

Pressure from bowlers in India and England confused under the rain
If Gill’s exhaustion was the headline of the day, the story of support was one of the enduring English dominations from the ball. Indian batting card in the tee was 85/3 after 29 overs, Yashasvi Jaiswal (2) and KL was satisfied (14) I’ve already returned to the pavilion thanks to my investigation of the spell Gus Atkinson and Chris Walks. Sudharsan stayed at 28 and joined Karun Nya (0*), but the partnership proved fleeting in a stitching, bouncing ball.
The nature of the stop-start of the contest, separated by wet ground and permanent drizzle, gave the batsmen little rest. Every time play resumed, the English bowlers were refreshed, looking for lateral movements and mistakes. That Gill’s firing came soon after the rain started stinging the disaster for India. The captain’s collapse appeared to summarise Indian wealth as he was beginning to form a stable partnership. The extras (20) have almost walked with individual batters and only got three wickets in tea, so India has turned their backs against the wall on the first day of the Test.
