[WATCH]: Shubman Gill tonks first 6 of IND vs BAN Asia Cup 2025 Super 4 match

That's what Team India was looking for. Again, a powerful start was provided by the opening duo of Shubman Gill and Abhishek Sharma in the 2025 Asia Cup Super Four stage. The pitch of Dubai International Stadium was probably a little bit slower, so the openers started the innings on a lower gear to get accustomed to the conditions.

After a few deliveries, Sharma and Gill gradually pushed the paddles to produce another high-class performance, like they did against Pakistan. They started to bat with the same intensity against Bangladesh. Bangladesh won the toss and decided to bowl first. Due to injury, their regular captain, Litton Das, is out of the match. Jaker Ali is playing as the stand-in captain in the game. Today (September 24), against Bangladesh, India scored 77 runs through their opening stand. Gill scored 29 off 19 before getting caught out on a Rishad Hossain delivery.

In his short innings, the vice captain of India's T20I team hammered a couple of boundaries and an over boundary. He smashed the 6 against Nasum Ahmed. During the second delivery of the 4th over of the first innings, Ahmed opted to attack the stumps. Gill, too, stepped out to activate his own version of attack.

The distance between the ball and the batter's stance was not perfect, but still, Gill managed to hit the ball with force. The right-handed batsman clubbed the ball over the deep midwicket for a six. Gill was looking good on track but was not able to convert the momentum into big knocks.

Against Pakistan, he missed a half-century only by three runs, scoring 47 off 28 balls, for a winning cause.
