Naturally, Sara is there to support and celebrate his inning.

Talking about the match, India restricted Bangladesh to a score of just 256 runs on the board despite losing Hardik Pandya to injury. Both Bangladeshi openers Tanzim Hasan and Litton Das scored half-centuries to stitch a 93-run opening partnership. Jasprit Bumrah, Ravindra Jadeja and Mohammad Shami took two wickets each. On the other hand, when it comes to batting, captain Rohit Sharma missed out on a well-made half-century. However, Shubhman Gill made a remarkable half-century in his maiden World Cup. But the cherry on top has to be definitely the classy century of Virat Kohli

How did Shubhman Gill perform?

Shubhman Gill played a fantastic innings to bring up his maiden half-century of the World Cup 2023. Gill scored a brilliant 53 runs off 55 balls with a strike rate of 96.36 which gave a solid start to the Indian innings.

World’s No.2 ranked ICC ODI Batter, Shubman Gill, has had a stellar 2023. Apart from the past week or so when Gill suffered from Dengue, he has had a fabulous run of form. His comeback game against Pakistan was not the best of the debuts that he would have liked in the ICC World Cup. However, Gill rectified it to notch up a half-century in the next game against Bangladesh. Subsequently, Gill has set his eyes to become the fastest cricketer to 2000 runs. The current record is with Hashim Amla who took 40 innings to do so. Whereas, Gill who played his 37th inning is just left with 14 more runs to reach the target.

However, aside from this electrifying knock, the fans were interested in the ecstatic celebrations of Sara Tendulkar who was watching the innings of Gill very closely. After Gill edged a ball to the third-man boundary, the entire focus of the cameraman shifted to the reactions of Sara.
