Rishi Dhawan, positioned at the cover, quickly collected the ball and executed a direct hit to catch Shubman Gill out of his crease. The GT opener seemed frustrated as he thought Sandeep Sharma got in his way and had to change his angle while running, but the replay showed that Sandeep was standing still in his follow through so it wasn't the bowler's fault. Gill has scored 269 runs in 10 innings this season, averaging 26.90 with a strike rate of 137.94. The young Indian opener has scored 2 fifties along with a top score of 96.
