In the ongoing test series between India and New Zealand, Shubman Gill and Kyle Jamieson have formed such a rivalry. Jamieson dismissed Gill in both the innings at Kanpur in the first test. One of the interesting things was, Gill got out in a similar fashion - bowled with the ball coming back into him.

However, on day 1 of the 2nd test, when two faced each other again and Gill welcomed Jamieson by smashing three fours against him in the same over. 

It seemed that Gill worked on his tactics to counter Jamieson's ability to move the ball as the 22-year-old opening batter was seen standing almost 3 feet outside the batting crease.
