Shubman Gill subject to hilarious jibes from KKR fans after another flop in IPL 2021

Kolkata Knight Riders opening batsman Shubman Gill has failed to make an impact with his batting in the ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League. His poor show with the bat continued as he endured yet another failure in the season. The right-handed batsman could only manage to score 9 runs from 8 balls against the Punjab Kings on Monday. 

Shubman Gill faces the wrath of KKR fans after he falling cheaply against PBKS  

The Kolkata Knight Riders started their IPL 2021 campaign with an impressive victory in their opening encounter. However, the Eoin Morgan-led side have visibly struggled to perform consistently since then. Having lost four successive matches in the competition, it was essential for the two-time champions to come up with an improved performance in their clash against PBKS. While their bowlers did a fine job to restrict their opposition to a paltry score of 123, their top-order batsmen once again failed to provide them with a promising start. 

Shubman Gill was expected to be KKR's premier batter in the cash-rich league this year. While the player had impressed with lion-hearted performances in international cricket, he is yet to replicate the same in the 14th season of the T20 competition. The youngster has received criticism for not showing enough intent as well as his ordinary strike rate. The 21-year-old was sent packing early by Mohammed Shami on Monday, and he was subjected to more trolls online after another flop performance with the bat, with some also targetting the Shubman Gill Sara Tendulkar relationship -
