Stunning and brilliant!!! These are the words that can only describe the latest fielding effort by Shubman Gill against Bangladesh in the Champions Trophy 2025 opening clash. Notably, the Indian vice-captain took the catch of Mehidy Hasan Miraz and that has put the Tigers under a lot pressure in the game.

Indian Pacers Put Bangladesh On The Back Foot

Notably, Bangladesh won the toss ahead of the game and opted to bat first on a track that looked a good one for batting. But much to the dismay of the skipper and the management they lost their first wicket in the first over. 

The Bangladesh skipper soon followed and the team was left reeling at 2/2 when Miraz walked out into the middle. Mehidy Hasan is one of the backbones of the team's batting and it was expected that he would help them turn the tide. 

The right-handed batter made a good start and was engaged in a steady partnership with Tanzid Hasan Tamim. However, in the seventh over, Shami struck again. 

Gill's Brilliance Ends Miraz's Stay

It was a hard length delivery by the Indian pacer outside the off stump. Miraz chased the delivery and threw his bat at that. The ball flew off the outside edge and was flying past Shubman Gill stationed at gully. However, the Indian vice-captain timed his jump to the right to perfection and took a sharp catch.

The wicket meant that Bangladesh were 26/3 down inside the seventh over of the innings and were in deep trouble. India would look to build on the start they have had in the game and script a solid start to their campaign in the tournament.
