In the second Test being played against England in Birmingham, Shubman Gill has scored a double century in the first innings and a century in the second innings. He scored 430 runs, including both innings. But after scoring that 430 runs, he has been found guilty of breaking the rules in Birmingham. Now the question is whether Shubman Gill has really broken any rule? Or the social media market with them is hot. In Birmingham, the thing for which the finger is being raised on the Indian captain, it was unknown to know him inadvertently. Meaning was according to the rules.
When kit sponsor Addidas, why did Gill wear Nike?
Actually, the issue that has come out about Shubman Gill is associated with the kit. Team India’s kit is sponsor Addidas. But while declaring the second innings in the game on the fourth day of the Birmingham Test, Gill who was seen wearing a kit was of Nike. There is a ruckus about this. Questions are arising whether Gill was right to wear Nike kit instead of Addidas?
Is it wrong for Gill to do so?
When Team India’s kit sponsor is Addidas, why did Shubman Gill wear Nike? Everyone has their own questions about this on social media. Everyone is eager to know if this can happen? Is this not against the rules?

However, according to media reports, there is also a theory that since Shubman Gill is the brand ambassador of Nike, he has nothing like controversy in wearing his kits. If any player does this, then there is no harm in it.
