Editorial Policy & Standards
Theshubmangill.com Editorial Team • Site owner: NK • Last updated: 11 October 2026
Core Editorial Mandate
At theshubmangill.com, our mission is to deliver comprehensive, deeply researched, and analytical cricket journalism. We focus on Shubman Gill's match performances, records, batting and captaincy. Every article must provide genuine educational value to cricket followers, athletes, and data analysts.
1. Fact-Checking & Primary Data Verification
Every statistic on the site comes from a source we can name:
- Cricsheet ball-by-ball data (cricsheet.org): career figures, splits and the innings log are computed from these open scorecards and updated after each match.
- ICC and BCCI announcements: rankings, squads, captaincy and fixtures.
- Tier-1 Cricket Newsrooms: ESPNcricinfo, Wisden and established cricket news outlets, cited at the end of each article.
We do not publish speculative match rumors, unverified locker-room gossip, or unsubstantiated fitness leaks. If a figure cannot be confirmed from the scorecard data or a reliable source, we leave it out.
2. AI Disclosure & Review
We are open about how our content is made:
Every article is checked before it goes live: each number against the scorecard data and each claim against a cited source. Articles carry the byline Theshubmangill.com Editorial Team and list their sources at the end.
We use AI tools to help draft articles, build tables from scorecard data and research what readers search for. Every number is checked against the scorecard data or a cited source before publishing, and nothing is published automatically.
3. Anti-Sensationalism & Personal Privacy Policy
We draw a strict boundary between public athletic performance and private personal life:
- Zero Clickbait: Headlines accurately describe the analysis contained in the body text without hyperbolic or misleading teasers.
- Strict Athlete Privacy: Unverified personal relationships, paparazzi rumors, and private family matters are strictly prohibited from our reporting.
- Off-field content: We cover personal matters only when Gill or a reliable outlet has made them public, and we do not speculate.
4. Correction & Retraction Procedures
Despite careful checking, errors can occasionally occur. When an inaccuracy in data, spelling, or context is identified:
- We fix the error on every page that shows it.
- Significant statistical adjustments include an explicit correction note at the bottom of the article.
- Readers and cricket researchers are invited to submit corrections, disputed figures, or source corroboration directly to editorial@theshubmangill.com.
