The KKR opener, Shubman Gill had strong words to reply to the social media users who had made disparaging comments on the cricketer’s batting style in the comments section of the post by Gill’s IPL team Kolkata Knight Riders. Gill commented: “i am right where i want to be Mr. NOBODY.”
Some social media users have often been seen questioning Gill’s selection in the Indian cricket team on what they perceived as based on IPL performances. A reference to “tuk tuk”, which apparently referred to a player who has a habit of scoring runs at a low pace, was made and that did not go down well with the KKR batsman.
