Shubman gill break rule of bcci: Shubman Gill, captain of the Indian Test team, is on a tour of England. Gill has got runs in both Tests with the bat. Shubman Gill has scored 585 runs in Leeds and Edgbaston Tests. But despite all these things, Shubman Gill is badly trapped in a controversy. Gill made a big mistake on the fourth day of the second Test, due to which the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) may have to face the captain’s mistake.

Gill got blunder

When Shubman Gill came to the inning declare during India’s second innings, the Indian captain wore a black color Nike brand vest. But BCCI’s contract is not from NIKE, but from Adidas company. The logo of this company is also printed on the jersey of Indian players. This contract between BCCI and Adidas is till March 2028. This German brand makes all format kits for Mains, Women’s and Youth Team of India. Adidas is a large sponsor company for BCCI.

BCCI will lose crores?

The sponsor company is Adidas for BCCI, then the rules apply to the players of the team to wear the jersey of this company, but Shubman Gill has broken this rule. In the year 2023, this deal of Rs 250 crore was done between Adidas and BCCI. Now what action will Adidas take on Gill’s mistake, no information has been revealed about it. On one hand, Adidas can also cancel this deal, which will cause crores of crores to BCCI. But the sponsor company also has great benefit from this deal. In such a situation, the company can also leave BCCI and Gill by giving warning.

Shubman gill test centuries: Shubman Gill has scored a century in the Birmingham Test. With this, he has done a historical act. He has now become only the fourth Indian captain who has scored a century in both his first Test matches after becoming captain. Let us know that Gill had earlier scored 147 runs in the first innings of the Leeds Test against England. He has also joined the players who have scored a century in 3 consecutive matches in the Test matches between India and England.

First, we look at that record of Shubman Gill, in which Virat Kohli is still ahead of him. Actually Gill has become the fourth Indian captain who scored a century in both his first Test matches as soon as he became captain. Before him, Vijay Hazare and Sunil Gavaskar had scored a century in both Tests after becoming captain. At the same time, Virat Kohli scored a consecutive century in his first 3 Test matches after becoming captain. If Gill scored a century in his next Test too, then you will match Virat in this matter.

The first Indian to do this in 35 years

In the Test history of India and England, Shubman Gill has also joined the players who have scored a century in three consecutive Indo-England Test matches. He has become the only third Indian captain who has scored 2 consecutive centuries against England as an Indian Test captain. Before that, Vijay Hazare did this in 1951-52 and Mohammad Azharuddin did this in 1990. Now Shubman Gill has become the third Indian captain to do so after 35 years.
