It takes a special delivery to dismiss Shubman Gill and Keshav Maharaj produced that in the crucial IND vs SA World Cup clash. In a potential ball of the tournament, the umpires and the batter got baffled as the umpires had to use a review for a bowled. The third umpire replay showed that there was no contact of the ball with either the bat or the pads as the ball rocked up to dislodge the bails.
Baby GOAT Shubman Gill looked in deft touch as he slammed 4 fours and a solitary six to set the pace of the Indian innings. While it was Rohit Sharma who displayed brute aggression, Gill held the helm at the other end but went to punish the poor balls showcasing his delicate batting class.

Shubman Gill Dismissal
A special delivery from Keshav Maharaj baffled the Indian batter. The third ball of the 11th over saw Maharaj bowl a perfect delivery. A tossed-up delivery which was slow drifted into the batter from outside leg. Gill who picks his stand between the middle and leg stump got uncomfortable to defend the shot.
He dragged forward to defend it but the ball ripped past him and hit the stumps. A baffled Gill stood confounded on his crease while the umpires too were shocked. The umpires immediately consulted with the third umpire and the replays showed a stunning delivery that bowls Gill as India lost their second wicket after a great start.
Shubman Gill’s lukewarm form in the ICC World Cup 2023 continues. The destructive batter has slammed 2 fifties but is yet to score a century in the ongoing World Cup. Gill came close to the three-digit mark but fell short by 8 runs in the previous game against Sri Lanka.
