The Gujarat Titans, reigning champions of the Indian Premier League (IPL), have been unable to secure a win against the Mumbai Indians, their only unbeaten opponent in the tournament. In their previous encounter, which took place during Gujarat’s title-winning campaign, the Titans lost four matches, one of which was against the Mumbai team. Thus, when the two sides faced off at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Tuesday, Gujarat was determined to level the contest and potentially climb to the top of the league table with a win.
However, the focus of the match, particularly during Gujarat’s innings, was the captivating battle between Arjun Tendulkar and Shubman Gill, which sparked a hilarious meme frenzy on social media platforms. Arjun Tendulkar had a lot of pressure on him heading into the game, with the buzz being that he had conceded 31 runs in his last over during Mumbai Indians’ previous match against Punjab Kings.
The young left-arm fast bowler went up against Gujarat Titans‘ opening duo of the aggressive Wriddhiman Saha and in-form Shubman Gill. This was a significant challenge for Arjun, but he seemed unfazed and bowled with determination and precision.
The Arjun Tendulkar vs Shubman Gill battle was not just about cricket, but also a source of amusement for fans due to the rumored relationship between Gill and Sara Tendulkar, the sister of Arjun and daughter of legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar. The social media platforms were abuzz with jokes and memes about the relationship, and the one-ball contest between Arjun and Gill during the match only added fuel to the fire.
Arjun bowled a good yorker to Shubman Gill, conceding just a single run, but this single ball generated more interest among fans than any other aspect of the game. The internet was flooded with hilarious comments and memes about the contest, with fans poking fun at the rumored relationship between Gill and Sara Tendulkar.
After opening the bowling for Mumbai Indians, Arjun Tendulkar continued to impress in his second over, picking up the wicket of Gujarat Titans’ aggressive opener, Wriddhiman Saha. He then went on to bowl the third over, conceding just nine runs in his two-over spell. Meanwhile, Shubman Gill continued to showcase his batting prowess for Gujarat Titans after Saha’s departure. He scored a quickfire fifty, ending his innings on 56 off just 34 deliveries. Even though the two stars didn’t face each other much, their contest topped as the most talked thing about the game.
