The cricketing world was in for a surprise on Day 4 of the opening Test between India and England at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad as the contest took an unexpected turn, leaving the outcome delicately poised and hanging in the balance. While the visitors extended their lead, the dismissal of Shubman Gill for a two-ball duck became the focal point of fan scrutiny, leading to a barrage of tro♍lling on the internet.
England’s dominance: Ollie Pope’s exploit and support from tailenders
Resuming their innings at 316/6 with a lead of 126 runs, England had clear intentions of stretching their lead over India’s first-innings score. Tom Hartley (34) and Rehan Ahmed (28) played crucial roles in helping England reach a formidable total of 430. Although Ollie Pope (196) narrowly missed a double c🧸entury, the visitors managed to set a challengi𝔉ng target of 231 for India.
India’s response: A shaky start
In pursuit of a challenging target, India’s batting lineup faced a stern test. Unfortunately for Gill, his struggles in the longest format continued as he departed for a two-ball duck. The quick succession of dismissals, including Yashasvi Jaiswal (15) and Rohit Sharma (39), put India in a tough spot.

The two-ball duck in Hyderabad added fuel to the fire, as fans took to the internet to express their disappointment.
