'By The Order Of...': Shubman Gill's Hilarious Post From Birmingham Goes Viral
Last Updated:
Shubman Gill's Instagram post with Arshdeep Singh and Mohammed Siraj has gone viral ahead of the second Test against England at Edgbaston.
India Test skipper Shubman Gill's latest Instagram post has gone viral on social media, where he is seen posing with Arshdeep Singh and Mohammed Siraj in a funny way, ahead of the second Test against England at Edgbaston in Birmingham, where India come 0-1 down in the five-match series.
India lost the opening Test despite five of their batters scoring hundreds, as England chased down 371 in the fourth innings to take a 1-0 lead in the five-match series.
Gill himself scored a century and all fans must have expected a brilliant start to his Test captaincy career, but that was not to be. But the star Indian batter was in a goofy mood as the team went around Birmingham.
'By the order of the cheeky blinders 😎," Gill captioned the post on his Instagram handle.
Notably, the Peaky Blinders were a street gang based in Birmingham, which operated from the 1880s until the 1920s. The group consisted of young criminals from lower to working-class backgrounds.
The story of this gang became popular across the world when a TV series was made on it in 2013, and even 12 years later, it remains one of the most popular series on Netflix. A movie is also slated to release on the gang.
Meanwhile, Gill scored 147 in India's first innings total of 471 and just eight runs in the second innings.
Gill admitted that the lower-order collapse in both innings did cost them during the five-wicket loss to England.
India collapsed from 430/3 in the first innings to 471, losing seven wickets for 41 runs and in the second, they crumbled to 364 all-out from 333/4, losing six wickets for 31 runs.
Playing his first Test as captain, Gill conjured up a sublime unbeaten 127 that was packed with glorious drives. India ended Day 1 at a solid 359/3, making the English attack look pedestrian.
Notably, this will be the first time that Gill will be playing at Edgbaston and the pressure is expected to be a lot, especially while leading as well as handling the defeat of the first Test.

Talking about the impact of epilepsy on her career after Kaanta Laga, Shefali added, 'After I did Kaanta Laga, people asked me why I didn't do more work.

Salman Khan once warned Kaanta Laga makers about Shefali Jariwala's bold video: ‘Stop doing sexy songs, it's not good'
In the wake of Shefali Jariwala's untimely death at the age of 42 due to cardiac arrest, tributes are pouring in from fans and industry veterans alike. Fondly remembered as the Kaanta Laga girl, Shefali became a household name with the 2002 remix video that redefined the Indian music video landscape. However, not everyone welcomed the song's bold and rebellious visuals back then, including superstar Salman Khan . In a recent interview with Hindi Rush, recorded just months before Shefali's passing, the music video's directors Radhika Rao and Vinay Sapru shared how Kaanta Laga created a national uproar, leading even Salman Khan to intervene. 'A big actor called us to his house and said, 'Main tumhe samjha raha hoon Radhika Vinay, yeh jo sexy kaam hai kam kiya karo, acha nahi hota (I'm explaining to you—stop doing such sexy songs, it's not good). You have nice, pure minds.'' The actor in question, they later revealed, was none other than Salman Khan. A remix that 'disturbed the moral fibre of the nation' Radhika and Vinay recalled being summoned by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) soon after the song's release. 'We got a call from the censor board saying, 'You have disturbed the moral fibre of the nation,'' they said. Interestingly, the inspiration for Kaanta Laga came from Salman himself. 'One day, we went to Salman Khan's house. He was working out while listening to a Jhankaar Beats remix of a Kishore Kumar song. That sparked the idea for a new kind of music video,' Vinay shared. The result was a bold departure from their earlier, more traditional music videos for Falguni Pathak, Jagjit Singh, and Pankaj Udhas. What followed was a new wave of remixes like Kaliyon Ka Chaman and Chadti Jawani, complete with sensual styling and edgy storytelling. 'Kaanta Laga girl' aka Shefali Jariwala reveals why she didn't work much after her initial success, actress says she suffered from epilepsy seizures The scandal behind the style Radhika revealed that the video's rebellious vibe was rooted in personal anecdotes. 'I went to a girls' school. One of my friends refused to get a stamp on her hand at a club—she asked for it on her neck instead. That scene made it into the video. The porn magazine? I was once caught reading one in school—so we used that too.' Vinay added, 'Even I didn't know there were adult magazines for women with male models. Our assistants scouted all over Mumbai and found one on Hill Road in Bandra.' They also clarified that the much-talked-about thong worn by Shefali was simply a fashion choice. 'We didn't realise we were disturbing the 'moral fibre' of the country,' Vinay said, ironically referencing the CBFC's words. From scandal to screen legend Shefali Jariwala, who played the fierce, club-going rebel in the video, later went on to participate in Bigg Boss 13, ironically hosted by Salman Khan himself. Despite the controversy that surrounded Kaanta Laga, the song made Shefali an icon of early 2000s pop culture. In an interview recorded just 10 months before her passing, Shefali had said, 'There can be only one Kaanta Laga girl in the whole world, and that is me. I love it. I want to be known as the Kaanta Laga girl till the day I die.'
