“This step may cost you some of your match fees. Whatever the decision is, accept it with full dignity. You still have a long way to go. In such a situation, it is not all right. Best wishes for the future,” wrote a fan.
“Cmon, just focus on the game. We have one more day to go. We can’t change Whats done, but what is to come is in our hands still,” tweeted another fan.
Meanwhile, some other fans supported Gill and tweeted in his favour.
