Fans chanting ‘Hamari Bhabhi Kaisi Ho….’
A viral video circulating on social media captured the crowd’s playful chants during the Sunday clash. Spectators could be heard chanting, “Hamari Bhabhi Kaisi Ho, Sara Bhabhi Jaisi Ho,” in a light-hearted attempt to tease Shubman while he was at the crease. The chanting stemmed from Gill’s alleged affair with Sara Tendulkar, the daughter of cricketing legend Sachin Tendulkar.
