Shubman Gill will be banned even after scoring 430 runs! This mistake will be heavy during the live match
Shubhman Gill: Shubhman Gill made history with his bat in the Birmingham Test. He not only made a place in the record book by scoring 430 runs in two innings but also strengthened India’s hold against England. But this explosion of Gill seems to be causing a new problem. During the live match, one of his mistakes has now become a topic of discussion, which has pushed him towards the ban.
Actually Shubhman Gill came to declare the second innings. Then the team made a big mistake from him. Team India’s official kit sponsor is currently Addidas, but on the fourth day Shubman Gill appeared in Nike’s kit. This mistake was overshadowed.
According to the Kit Protocol of ICC and BCCI, players only have to wear kit of authorized sponsor, especially during the official match time. In such a situation, wearing Gill’s NIKE kit can fall under the category of violation of rules.
Nike Gill is the brand ambassador – is this reason,
According to media reports, Shubman Gill is the brand ambassador of NIKE. In such a situation, it is being expected that he wore the kit under a personal promotional deal. Nevertheless, if he does this while playing the official test on the field, it is wrong.
This action of Shubhman Gill can question the contracts between BCCI and Kit Sponsor Addidas. In such cases sponsor companies are quite sensitive as their identity is associated with brand visibility.
If it is considered a contract violation, Gill may face warning, fine or ban. In such a situation, this matter will not only indicate the negligence of the team management.
Can Gill get into trouble despite records?
In this Test match, India scored more than 1000 runs in a Test for the first time, in which Gill alone hit 430 runs. But this dispute can fade their historical performance. Gill may get caught in trouble if this case is taken seriously.
