"Ek Taraf Mohammed, Ek Taraf Krishna": Shubman Gill's Remark Breaks The Internet
India are in a challenging spot against England on Day 5 of the 1st Test of the 2025 series, with the hosts cruising to 181/0 before rain interrupted play. As England continued to pile on runs, India's bowling attack, led by Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna, struggled to break through. However, despite the tough start, India's captain Shubman Gill did his best to rally his bowlers with some light-hearted motivation that quickly went viral on social media.
The hilarious comment was caught on the stump mic: "Ek taraf Mohammed hai, Ek taraf Krishna... dono tabhahi machayega" (On one side, there's Mohammed, on the other side, Krishna… both will wreak havoc). It was a moment of levity amidst the tension of the match and showed the lighter side of captain Gill. This amusing remark not only gained attention for its wit but also for the spirit it reflected, with Gill trying to boost his team's morale as England's openers, Ben Duckett and Zak Crawley, put together a massive partnership.
The opening day saw India struggling to contain England's opening batsmen, who capitalized on a couple of lifelines. Duckett scored a mammoth 149 after Yashasvi Jaiswal dropped him on 98, while Crawley managed 57 off 119 balls. India's bowling attack, including Siraj and Krishna, couldn't break the stand, and soon the rain halted play.
Former India cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar commented on the proceedings, acknowledging the shift in momentum towards England. "Are England suddenly the favorites? Before this session, I had India at 70-30, but now it feels more like 50-50. The pitch had gone to sleep, and even Bumrah struggled to extract anything from it. But with the unpredictability of England's weather, anything can happen," said Manjrekar on JioHotstar.
The rain delay didn't stop the social media storm sparked by Gill's remark, which quickly became a trending topic on Twitter and other platforms. The comment, "Ek taraf Mohammed hai, Ek taraf Krishna… dono tabhahi machayega," echoed the excitement of cricket fans, who couldn't stop laughing at Gill's attempt to lighten the mood during a crucial moment.
As the match resumed, England wrapped up the remaining 190 runs to win the first Test and take a 1-0 lead in the 5-match series. Despite the loss, Shubman Gill's leadership and his attempt to inspire his bowlers resonated with fans around the world. His humorous remark is now etched in the minds of cricket fans and has taken over the internet.
