Bhuvneshwar Kumar clean bowled Shubman Gill
On a wicket where there was a lot for the batsmen, Shubman Gill was out after scoring 2 runs in 7 balls. The GT captain will be angry with himself, because this incident happened on the first ball of the third over.
The ball was pitched up and bowled back to the opener, as Gill tried to play the shot across the line due to the pressure of the big run-chase, and he missed it completely, and the ball crashed into the middle stump.
A brilliant first over kept him calm and Bhuvneshwar sent him packing in his second over. After this wicket, he dismissed Gill 7 times in 15 innings. In all his T20 matches, Gill has scored 80 runs on 79 balls at an average of 13.33.
