Yuvraj Singh expresses deep disappointment over Shubman Gill’s on-field behavior during the Edgbaston Test.

The incident occurred during the Edgbaston Test match between India and England, where Shubman Gill was controversially dismissed after edging a delivery. Instead of walking off, Gill stayed on the crease, prompting a DRS review. The third umpire upheld the on-field decision, leading to widespread debate among cricket fans and former players.

Reacting to the incident, Yuvraj Singh labeled Gill’s behavior as a ‘crime’ against the spirit of the game. Speaking to the media, the former Indian all-rounder said, “As cricketers, we are taught from the beginning to respect the game. What Shubman did may not seem like a big issue to many, but it sends the wrong message, especially to young aspirants.”

Yuvraj emphasized that while players are under pressure and emotions run high, the integrity of the game must be preserved. “It’s not just about a single dismissal,” he added, “It’s about how we uphold the gentleman’s game.”

Fans on social media had mixed reactions, with some defending Gill’s right to stand his ground, while others echoed Yuvraj’s sentiments.

The Edgbaston Test, already high on intensity, has now been clouded by controversy, bringing the focus back to the importance of sportsmanship i
