Cricket World Cup 2023: Sara Tendulkar's Reaction Goes Viral After Shubman Gill Hits Fifty Against Bangladesh - Watch

Shubman Gill announced his arrival in the Cricket World Cup 2023 as the youngster slammed a gritty fifty for the Indian cricket team during the match against Bangladesh on Thursday. Gill missed the first two matches of the tournament against Australia and Afghanistan due to illness as he was reportedly suffering from dengue and on his return against Pakistan, he failed to set the stage on fire as he lost his wicket cheaply.
