Shubman Gill during IND vs AUS 2nd Test (Source: @whyrattkuhli/X.com)
In a moment of heat, Shubman Gill was caught hurling abuse on himself during the on-going mega-class between India and Australia in Adelaide. Gill, who failed to make the desired shot, left the commentators and fans in amusement and in splits after his disappointment with himself resulted in the incident.
The moment occurred during the 14th over when Scott Boland bowled a full and just outside off delivery. Gill, who was ready to take on the shot, slammed an excellent square drive however Nathan Lyon stationed at the point saved a possible boundary. A very disappointed Gill cussed himself for missing out on a boundary-scoring opportunity.
Shubman Gill Abuses After Missing A Boundary
Boland Makes Gill His Bunny
As the game proceeded, Shubman Gill was eventually dismissed by Scott Boland, who has interestingly dismissed him three times in Test cricket. Undeniably, Boland has earned the rights of officially calling Gill, who scored 31 runs off 51 balls, his bunny in Test cricket.
Meanwhile, earlier in the game, India won the toss and opted to bat first. Despite losing Yashasvi Jaiswal early, things seemed well in control of the visitors as KL Rahul and Shubman stitched up a beautiful partnership of 69-runs.
Virat Kohli did look quite intent in the early going, but he, too, fell to Starc just before the break. And then Boland got Gill lbw in the 22nd over. India's lower order saw Rohit Sharma come in with Rishabh Pant before tea.
However, at the time of writing, Captain Rohit has departed for a low score of 3 runs as India are at 87/5.
