The first tweet surfaced as a meme, mocking Gill's tendency to score runs in less crucial matches while failing in key games that could influence the team's playoff trajectory. This pointed jab set the tone for further criticisms that followed.

One fan tweeted, "Shubman Gill, such a huge dip in form compared to last year. Clearly the captaincy has caught up to him?" This comment reflects a sentiment that the additional responsibilities of leadership might be affecting Gill's performance adversely.

Another tweet starkly summed up Gill's season: "Shubman Gill's IPL journey: Starts slow, ends slower." This succinct critique highlighted the consistent lack of impactful innings from the young captain throughout the tournament.

Comparisons with other players also surfaced, with one tweet stating, "Shubman Gill with a disastrous IPL on flat decks but sadly Rutu doesn't have the aura so he can stay home while Gill gets world tours in T20 format." This tweet not only criticized Gill's performances but also questioned the selection policies that saw him included in international fixtures over other deserving candidates.

The debate intensified with a tweet arguing in favor of another player, "Still wondering, why @BCCI didn't select Ruturaj Gaikwad? - Ruturaj is playing literally better than both Shubman and Yashasvi and was more deserving than both of them. - At least in the reserves, Ruturaj was more deserving than Shubman Gill tbvh," emphasizing the perceived injustice in team selection.

Emotions ran high, as evident from another fan's tweet: "@gujarat_titans Shubman Gill, you are just pathetic and idiot in this whole season....bloody jisko bhi chance diye hag rahe hai....bewakoof ho tum sab....bloody at least play for some pride, how can you get out so early idiot," showing the level of disappointment and anger among the fans.

A final tweet called for drastic measures: "Retire asap, Shubman Gill. No one has disappointed more than you in this IPL," reflecting the extreme discontent with Gill's underwhelming season.

As the criticisms pile up, the pressure on Shubman Gill only intensifies, with fans and observers alike questioning his suitability for both captaincy and his place in the higher echelons of Indian cricket moving forward.
