Meanwhile, a new controversy has erupted over an Instagram photo of Team India’s star batsman Shubman Gill.

Controversy started from Instagram photo

Actually, Shubman Gill had recently shared some pictures of the celebration of ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 victory on his Instagram account. In these pictures, many players of the Indian team are seen celebrating with the trophy. However, fans claim that Sanju Samson is missing in these pictures. After this, fans are raising questions on social media as to why Samson is not visible in this picture.

No #SanjuSamson in the post shared by #ShubmanGill on his Instagram 🙂
Both images are exactly the same, the original one contains all 15 Players, but the other contains only 14 players where #SanjuSamson is clearly missing, there is not even a shadow.
