NEW DELHI: India A and India B are currently facing off in the opening match of the Duleep Trophy 2024, being held at Bengaluru’s M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. The India A team is under the leadership of renowned Indian batsman Shubman Gill, while Abhimanyu Easwaran is at the helm of India B.
During the match, Shubman’s unique taped-up jersey has garnered significant attention from spectators.
The precise reason for the tape remains uncertain, but it is speculated that it could be due to Gill not having access to his usual ’77’ jersey. Alternatively, he might have temporarily borrowed a teammate’s jersey and opted to cover the number to prevent any confusion.
It is worth noting that Shubman has a particular affinity for the number 7.
In a previous revelation during his participation in the U19 World Cup, Shubman shared that he initially wanted to sport the number 7 jersey but had to settle for doubling the number to 77 when it was unavailable.
