[WATCH] IND vs OMA, Asia Cup 2025: Oman pacer Shah Faisal's jaffa takes Shubman Gill's stumps for ride

Shubman Gill was stunned. In the third ball of the second over (IND vs OMA), Oman pacer Shah Faisal clean bowled the vice-captain of India's T20I team. Gill returned to the dugout after making only 5 runs. 

India captain Surya Kumar Yadav won the toss and decided to bat first. The track of the Sheikh Zayed Stadium was looking batting-friendly during the toss, so Yadav decided to bat first. The surface of the stadium is mostly known for its batting-friendly nature. So, a flurry of runs was expected from the Indian batting order. A good batting performance also was expected from Gill, who was in good touch in the recent past. 

When the match started, Oman looked desperate to show their true potential. The early departure of Gill was the sign of their discrepancy. Shah launched an absolute jaffa to dismiss the opener.

A pure class to dismiss Shubman Gill

Gill set himself for a drive through to the offside, but what he got was a ball into the body. Shubman Gill gets halfway forward and tries to drive it straight down the ground. But by then, the ball moved towards him. The bowler presented a great seam position, pitching full and on off and then curving into the batter. 

Gill tried to make a connection with his bat, but the ball found enough passage to sneak past the pad and pad to lash on the stumps—clean bowled against a jaff, Shubman. Gill looked stunned, India down by one man in the initial stage of the first innings of the 12th match of the ongoing Asia Cup 2025.
