5.1
Varun Chakaravarthy to Shubman Gill, FOUR, Varun Chakaravarthy greeted with a boundary! Short of length outside off, hint of in-turn, Shubman Gill waits on the back foot and scythes it to the left of the diving backward point fielder. The quick outfield does the rest

In reply to Overthrow

With the loss of WI cappoship and now no games in IPL...his confidence must be low.

6.1
Moeen Ali to Shubman Gill, SIX, 91.6kph, flighted delivery, Shubman Gill skips down the track, gets close to the pitch of the ball and wallops it over deep midwicket for a 78m six. A wristy shot

 
Overthrow 2025-04-21 14:32:29 

Gill is so creative with the bat, cannot settle a field to consistently defend him.

Vaibhav Arora to Buttler, FOUR, Vaibhav Arora isn't happy! But that's a super shot. Almost yorker length outside off, Buttler opens the bat-face and squeezes it behind square on the off-side. Rana dives to his right after running from third man but can't stop it

Siraj to Gurbaz, out Lbw!! That looks right in front and the umpire takes little time to raise the finger! Gurbaz isn't convinced, though. He's gone for the review. Here's ball-tracking, and it confirms that it would've crashed into middle and leg. An absolute cracker from Siraj. Good length ball that pitches just outside off and nips in sharply to beat the inside edge. It hits Gurbaz on the knee-roll and would've crashed into the stumps.
