Shubman's pose was caught on video by a paparazzo account who later shared it on Instagram. The cricketer, who wore a green printed shirt with white pants, climbed up the roof of a car to crouch down on one knee, in Spider-Man's iconic pose. He also pretended to shoot out a web as the character. All versions of the Indian trailers Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse were introduced at the event.
