Former Indian cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar was seen avoiding taking the name of former captain Virat Kohli during the ongoing first Test between England and India. When the Indian team was bowling, Mohammad Siraj tried to make Joe Root his victim. After this, captain Gill was seen celebrating very excitedly. However, his celebration faded when he was declared not out.

Actually, Siraj appealed and the umpire gave him out, but in the review the umpire had to change the decision and eventually Joe Root was declared not out.
Sanjay Manjrekar talked about this celebration. He said that Gill looks like a completely different personality while batting, but for the first time while fielding, captain Shubman Gill has looked so excited.

He said, ‘Who is this – Shubman Gill or someone else? When he bats, he looks very calm and balanced – a completely different personality. Captain Gill, we are seeing such a version for the first time. I can’t remember who it reminded me of. Give me some time to think what his way of celebrating would have been. MS Dhoni was never at mid-off or mid-on, Rohit Sharma … I can’t remember. My third guess was Ajit Wadekar.
Later in the commentary box, Navjot Singh Sidhu was asked who he was reminded of after seeing Gill’s celebration. So Navjot Singh Sidhu took the names of Virat Kohli and Hardik Pandya. Then Manjrekar jokingly said that he was waiting for the right answer from Navjot.
