Shubman Gill Bowled After Leaving The Ball, Left Stunned. Watch | Cricket News

India’s ‘prince’ Shubman Gill failed to make his Duleep Trophy outing count for the second successive innings. Gill, playing for India A against India B, couldn’t put a strong opening wicket stand with Mayank Agarwal, as he fell prey to Navdeep Saini‘s brilliance. Gill, thinking that the widish delivery from Saini is safe to be left alone, decided to not engage with the ball, and ended up seeing the ball shatter his stumps. Gill had a stunned look on his face as he looked to comprehend the mistake made.

Saini has been brilliant in the match, not just with the ball but also with the bat. He scored 56 runs off 144 balls, fording an important partnership with Musheer Khan to help India B put 321 runs on the board batting first.

After the fall of seven quick wickets, Musheer and Navdeep controlled the damage and built an unbeaten partnership of 108 runs before the end of play on Day 1.
