As India stepped onto the field to defend a daunting target of 371 runs against England in the final session of Day 4, the atmosphere was electric. The intensity from the players was unmistakable, with every move and gesture reflecting their determination to seal the win. Among all the moments, one stood out and instantly grabbed the spotlight — Shubman Gill’s passionate pep talk during the team huddle.
Caught on camera, Gill was seen unleashing a fiery expletive-laden rallying cry: “Beh***d gd phad deni hai.” The unexpected outburst from the usually calm and composed young batter quickly went viral. It captured the burning desire within the Indian camp to close the game with aggression and purpose.
India’s batting heroes for the day, KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant, had earlier set the stage with commanding centuries — Rahul scoring 137 and Pant contributing 118 — to push India’s total to a massive 371. Their efforts gave the bowlers a strong platform, and the team was visibly pumped to capitalize on it.
What surprised fans the most was Gill himself. Known for his composed demeanor at the crease, his aggressive, almost war-cry-like tone revealed a rare glimpse into his competitive fire. The Indian bowlers, perhaps inspired by this shift, came out with raw energy and focus, hunting for breakthroughs with every delivery.
