In a moment that has taken social media by storm, star Indian batter Shubman Gill was captured hilariously trolling teammate Mohammed Siraj during the first Test against Bangladesh. The incident occurred amidst Team India’s brilliant 280-run victory over the visitors, where Gill played a crucial role with a magnificent century in the second innings.
Gill’s Viral Trolling
The viral video shows Gill saying, “Mohammad Siraj official ID hai, baaki ki sab fake hain.” (This is Mohammed Siraj’s official ID, the rest are fake). The context of the clip is connected to an older video posted by Siraj on his Instagram account, where he clarified that his account was the official one, with all others being fake.
Siraj’s old video had previously drawn a lot of attention from fans on social media, with many finding humor in the pacer’s earnest attempt to establish his official online presence. Gill’s playful jibe at his teammate has only added to the entertainment value, showcasing the camaraderie within the Indian team.

Gill’s Stellar Performance
Despite the amusing off-field moment, Shubman Gill’s performance on the field was nothing short of outstanding. After a disappointing duck in the first innings, the young opener bounced back with a vengeance, slamming an unbeaten 119 runs off just 176 balls in the second innings.
Gill’s sensational knock, which included 10 fours and 4 sixes, came at a crucial time when India had lost early wickets. His composed and elegant batting helped steady the ship and set Bangladesh a mammoth target of 515 runs to chase.
Mohammed Siraj’s Contribution
While Gill stole the limelight with his batting heroics and viral trolling, Mohammed Siraj also played his part in India’s victory. The fast bowler picked up 2 crucial wickets in the first innings as Bangladesh were bundled out for just 149 runs.
Siraj’s performance, combined with the efforts of other bowlers, set the stage for India’s dominant display with the bat. The team’s ability to bounce back from early setbacks and post a formidable total showcased their depth and resilience.
With a 1-0 lead in the series, Team India will now shift their focus to the second Test, scheduled to commence on September 27 at Green Park, Kanpur. The players will look to maintain their momentum and seal the series with another strong performance.
