“Shubman Gill is jealous of Yashasvi Jaiswal” – Twitter reacts to the controversial race

Fans of the Indian cricket team were left fuming after Yashavi Jaiswal’s shocking run-out, blaming the captain, Shubman Gill, for the unfortunate dismissal in the ongoing second and final Test against West Indies at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi.

Fans accuse Shubman Gill of costing Yashasvi Jaiswal his well-deserved double century due to his poor communication and hesitation in the middle overs against West Indies. The heartbreak happened on the first day of the third day of the ongoing Delhi Test.

How Yashasvi Jaiswal’s dream knock ends against West Indies in the Delhi Test

Yashasvi Jaiswal confidently drove a full delivery from Jayden Seales straight to midwicket. Seeing an opportunity for a quick single, the Indian opener took off immediately, confident that his partner would respond. But Gill, who was standing at the non-striker’s end, didn’t move. The misunderstanding became costly within seconds.

By the time Yashasvi Jaiswal realized that Gill was not coming, he tried to turn back, but it was too late. Taginarine Chanderpaul quickly collected the ball and bowled it sharply towards the wicket-keeper’s end. Tevin Imlach ran in and caught the throw cleanly and broke the stumps with Jaiswal staying just short of the crease.

Fans attack Shubman Gill after Yashavi Jaiswal is run out at 175

Yashavi Jaiswal stood in disbelief before stepping back. The young opener had to walk away with absolute disappointment after playing a brilliant knock of 175 runs with the help of 22 boundaries in the ongoing second and final Test against the West Indies at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.

Fans quickly took to social media to express their frustration and blame Gill for not heeding Yashavi Jaiswal’s call. Many felt the mix-up could have been avoided with better communication, and called Gill a selfish player. However, some fans have defended Jill.

Here’s how fans reacted to the misunderstanding between Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal:

Shubman Gill is a selfish player…. Jaiswal’s sacking could have been avoided today.
I’ve been saying this for a while, he’s not a leader, despite his talent.
Tilak Varma or Jasprit Bumrah should be the captain of the future. Maybe even Yashavi.

The same way Gill made Rohit Sharma run out in Ind v Afg T20 Series 2024. If the striker calls for a run, the non-striker must run because it is the striker who is at the end of the danger and not the non-striker.

I was so excited to watch him get a big score today 🙂 I won’t debate whether there was a run or not, there was a lack of communication. Gil didn’t say no either, he just looked confused. But since he is the captain and the prince, no one refers to him.

Insecure Mdcd even tried to dare yjb, what a selfish clown

Obviously it was Gill’s fault instead of running he was looking at the ball and Jaiswal had covered half the field and the throw was definitely going to come at Jaiswal’s end Gill wanted to run him out before he scored big

#Shubamaamal He achieved his goal by eliminating his first competitor. Yashasvi put Ind in a leadership position.
It was Yashavi’s call to run. I remember now Kohli used this technique sometimes.
I’m sure Shubhaman Gill is feeling the heat from Yashavi.

I got it in the player’s hand and this part… a little… even the level is level… Gill doesn’t say anything… watches the match… even if Gill Bhagata doesn’t reach Jaiswal…

My lady did not run, the gills could not sacrifice their share.

How can you see Jill’s mistake?

Yashasvi Jaiswal was batting on 175 at full drive – but #shopmangel I did it again!

Just as it ran out #rohisharma On January 11, 2024, insecurity cost another teammate dear.

Jill’s ego became bigger than the game itself. 💔@ybj_19#yashasvijaiswal #jaiswalrunout pic.twitter.com/nfAmgohyKj

It’s not the first time I’ve seen Shubman Gill not trusting his partner at the striker’s end and it usually ends up running out of his partner. He needs to trust his partner’s calling a little more. https://t.co/KXRMfKuSzp

Cricketers should not be sailfish like Shubman Gill.
Yashavi was deliberately run out so that he could not score a double century.#selfishness#SelfishGill#INDvsWI #yashasvijaiswal #shubhmangil #viratkohli

– Raj Choudhary (@Rajc7770) October 11, 2025

You can clearly see that Gill doesn’t want Jaiswal to score 200, this is pure pill jealousy 💊 😡😡 #yashasvijaiswal #Jaiswal #submangel #CricketTest #INDvsWIpic.twitter.com/4MN1qSvQF2

Kohli Aur Gill… dono xtremmmeee selfish hai… They will do anything but they will never run out… It’s a shame!!!

– Harsh Raj (@HRNitian_) October 11, 2025

I was eagerly waiting for a double century from jaiswal but obviously hi nahi tha vaha pe has been played and now there will be unnecessary hatred for generation 🙁 pic.twitter.com/ygF6LwpOxu

Now people in Jaiswal Fan Club will blame Aakar Gill but Jaiswal himself is at fault. There was no running.
