LSG faces backlash for Trophy post with Shubman Gill

The Lucknow Super Giants’ official X (formerly Twitter) handle stirred up a storm online after sharing a post featuring Indian captain Shubman Gill holding the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy.

Following India’s heroic win at The Oval, which helped them level the five-match Test series 2-2 against England, LSG posted a photo of Gill with the trophy, accompanied by the caption: "Trophy pe Tendulkar ka naam tha. Aise kaise jaane dete (with a blue heart emoji)"
