Indian cricket team fans were left furious after Yashasvi Jaiswal’s shocking run-out, and they have been blaming the captain, Shubman Gill, for this unfortunate dismissal in the ongoing second and final Test against the West Indies at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi.
Fans have been accusing Shubman Gill of costing Yashasvi Jaiswal his well-deserved double century with his poor communication and hesitation in the middle against the West Indies. The heartbreak happened in the first over of Day 3 of the ongoing Delhi Test.
How Yashasvi Jaiswal’s dream knock ends against West Indies in Delhi Test
Yashasvi Jaiswal confidently drove a full delivery from Jayden Seales straight to mid-off. Seeing an opportunity for a quick single, the Indian opener immediately set off, trusting his partner to respond. But Gill, standing at the non-striker’s end, didn’t move. The misunderstanding turned costly within seconds.
Your daily dose of cricket!

By the time Yashasvi Jaiswal realized that Gill wasn’t coming, he tried to turn back, but it was too late. Tagenarine Chanderpaul collected the ball quickly and threw it sharply toward the wicketkeeper’s end. Tevin Imlach ran in, grabbed the throw cleanly, and broke the stumps with Jaiswal still short of the crease.
Fans lash out at Shubman Gill after Yashasvi Jaiswal’s run-out on 175
Yashasvi Jaiswal stood in disbelief before walking back. The young opener had to walk off in utter disappointment after playing a magnificent knock of 175 runs with the help of 22 boundaries in the ongoing second and final Test against the West Indies at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.
Fans quickly took to social media to express their frustration and blame Gill for not responding to Yashasvi Jaiswal’s call. Many felt that the mix-up could have been avoided with better communication, calling Gill a selfish player. However, some fans have been defending Gill.
Here is how fans react to the misunderstanding between Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal:
Shubhman gill is a selfish player…. Today’s jaiswal’s dismissal could have been avoided.
Have been saying it for a while, he is not captain material, despite his talent.
Tilak Varma or Jasprit Bumrah should be captain for future. Maybe even Yashasvi.— Bharat (@2673Bharat) October 11, 2025
In exactly the same way Gill made Rohit Sharma run out in Ind v Afg T20 Series 2024. If a striker calls for a run, the non striker has to run because it is the striker who is on the danger end & not the non striker.

Was so eager to watch him make a big score today not going to debate whether there was a run or not,lack of communication was there. Gill didnt say a proper no either,looked confused himself. But since he is the captain and the prince nobody would point him out.

Mdcd insecure gill even tried to dare yjb , what a selfish clown

Clearly Gill’s fault instead of running he was looking at the ball and Jaiswal had covered half of the pitch and throw was definitely going to come at Jaiswal’s end Gill wanted to run him out before he scores big

#ShubhamanGill achieved his target to get out his 1st rival. Yashasvi placed Ind in commanding position.
It was Yashasvi’s call for a run. I remember Kohli now, he used this technique sometimes.
I damn sure Shubhaman Gill is feeling heat from Yashasvi.— PANDYA JAY (@jaypandya1) October 11, 2025

Yashasvi Jaiswal was batting on 175 in full command — but #ShubmanGill did it again!
Just like he ran out #RohitSharma on Jan 11, 2024, his insecurity cost another teammate dearly.
Gill’s ego is becoming bigger than the game itself. @ybj_19#YashasviJaiswal #jaiswalrunout pic.twitter.com/nfAmgohyKj

Not the first time I have seen Shubman Gill not trusting his partner at the striker’s end & it usually ends with his partner getting run out. He needs to trust his partner’s call little more. https://t.co/KXRMfKuSzp

क्रिकेटरों को शुभमन गिल की तरह सेलफिश नहीं होना चाहिए।
यशस्वी को जानबूझकर रन आउट करवा दिया ताकि उसका डबल सेंचुरी नहीं बने#selfish#gill_selfish#INDvsWI #YashasviJaiswal #shubhmangill #ViratKohli— Raj Choudhary (@Rajc7770) October 11, 2025
