Shubman Gill’s Wardrobe Woes: Close Calls with ICC Regulations
Young Indian batting star Shubman Gill has found himself in the spotlight, not just for his cricketing prowess, but also for his close calls with the ICC’s clothing regulations during the India vs England Test series.
Red Vest Incident at Lord’s
During the third Test at Lord’s, Gill narrowly escaped sanctions for wearing a red vest under his white jersey, a violation of the ICC’s clothing rules. He quickly rectified the situation by buttoning up his shirt, averting any potential penalties.
Black Socks Saga at Headingley
This wasn’t Gill’s first brush with the ICC’s clothing guidelines. Earlier in the series, during the second Test at Headingley, he was spotted wearing black socks, again contravening the regulations. He addressed this by switching to white socks the following day.
A Pattern of Near Misses
While Gill has managed to avoid official sanctions so far, these repeated incidents raise questions about his awareness of the ICC’s clothing regulations. Will he be more careful in future matches, or will we see another close call?
