Indian Cricket Team’s Test captain Shubman Gill lost his wicket with a huge blunder in the 5th Test of Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy at the Oval. Watch the video.
New Delhi: Team India’s captain Shubman Gill got out during day 1 of the fifth Test against England with a huge mistake on Thursday. Talking about the blunder, it happened during the 28th over of Team India’s innings as Shubman Gill defended a full-ish delivery from Gus Atkinson.
How did the blunder happen?
The blunder happened when Shubman Gill played a normal defensive shot and then suddenly decided to go for a quick single. The call caught Sai Sudharsan off-guard on the non-striker’s end and even the left-hander declined the call. But Shubman Gill was already halfway down the pitch as Atkinson recahed the ball. The England bowler had so much time to take aim at the stumps and when the ball hit the stumps, Shubman Gill was nowhere near his crease and India were handed a big blow.

Indian Cricket Team’s legendary player Sunil Gavaskar was surprised by Shubman Gill’s wicket and called it ‘suicidal’. Gavaskar also said that it was a massive blow for India.
What did Sunil Gavaskar say?
“It was suicidal. I do not know what happened. What was his mind space when he looked for that single. There was honestly no run in it. So this is a huge blow and you can already see it. He was hoping against hope that the bowler would miss the stumps,” Gavaskar said during his analysis.
