After the heated match between RCB and GT where GT star Shubman Gill smashed an astonishing 104* runs in just 52 balls including 8 sixes and 5 fours ceasing RCB’s IPL23 Trophy dream and beating GT by 6 wickets with five balls left. Former India skipper Sourav Ganguly was highly impressed with Shubman’s innings and tweeted
“What talent this country produces .. Shubman Gill .. wow .. two stunning knocks in two halves .. IPL.. .. what standards in the tournament,”
However, Ganguly didn’t mention Kohli’s innings, Virat Kohli on Sunday also smashed his 7th century which came in just 60 balls unbeaten against Gujrat Titans and Earlier on 18th May (Thursday) smashed a stunning 100 in 63 balls against Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad and took Royal Challengers Bangalore to victory against Sunrisers Hyderabad do-or-die match.
Fans Started To Criticise Ganguly For His Tweet
Some fans wrote:
Dada you forgot to mention shubham’s inspiration & idol!
Not taking the name of King Kholi and his century, Shows how hateful you are, can’t even take a person’s name. You may have removed your shirt and been nude in England, But V Kholi has more than you for Indian cricket or any other player in history. Dada let me remind you of Karma, It never forgets any address. You belittling V Kholi would even make him look stronger.
They divided cricket as well U cud have mentioned Kohli as well. He also played very fantastic.

You are too biased towards a single player. Virat gave his best to qualify to Playoffs but you have never ever praised a Batsman like him. As a Batsman,you should appreciate others as well. Anyways both Virat & Shubman played an outstanding innings today. Hatsoff to both of them
