Ind vs Eng 2nd Test: Yuvraj Singh shattered by Shubman Gill's 'crime' in Edgbaston

Newly appointed captain Shubman Gill scored an epic knock of 269 against England on day two of the 2nd India vs England Test at Edgbaston in Birmingham on Thursday. Gill's marathon innings set the platform for India's huge first-innings total of 587.

However, former India cricketer Yograj Singh and his son Yuvraj Singh are shattered because of a ‘crime’ committed by Gill.

Yograj  felt a tinge of disappointment as Gill fell short of a triple century. Emphasising the value of staying not out, Yograj called it a ‘crime’ to lose a wicket when well-set. Former India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh also felt pained by Gill’s dismissal.

"I am glad that whatever Yuvraj has achieved in his life, he is giving it back to the players by coaching them. Gill, Abhishek and Arshdeep have been his trainees. When Shubman Gill was batting on 200, I wanted him to remain 250 not out. But when the batter gets out, then I am pained," said Yograj in a recent interaction.

"Yuvraj is also feeling the same. He has realised that getting out after such a big score is a crime. When you are 200 not out, 250 not out, 300 not out – when you have not out against your name – then all your mistakes are improved. Secondly, a lot was being said about Shubman Gill. To them, I just want to say… ‘Please, if you haven't played cricket, don’t talk about it’. Gill has worked on his top hand," he added.
