‘Donon Tabahi Macha Denge’: Shubman Gill’s Stump Mic Pep Talk Goes Viral as He Rallies Siraj and Krishna on Day 5 in Leeds
Leeds: On the final day of the first Test match against England at Headingley in Leeds, Indian captain Shubman Gill’s spirited stump-mic comment stole the spotlight. Urging bowlers Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna to step up, Gill’s lively words in Hindi about shaking up England’s batting order quickly spread across social media.
England began Day 5 at 21/0 after six overs, facing a steep chase of 371 runs. Despite India’s bowlers testing the English batsmen with close calls, they couldn’t break through with wickets. By lunch, England stood firm at 117/0, still needing 254 runs to win.
Gill’s exact words caught on the mic:
“Ek taraf se Mohammed hai, doosri taraf se Krishna hai, donon tabahi macha denge.”
(Translation: “Mohammed from one end, Krishna from the other. Both can create havoc.”)
