Shubman Gill’s Classy Inning Ends by Rishad Hossain:

Shubman Gill started the inning really well. He dominated Bangladesh’s bowlers with some beautiful shots. He contributed quick and crucial runs on board in the first power play. When the second power play started, he resumed his innings by smashing Rishad for a boundary. But his innings came to an end in the next ball.

In the 7th over, Bangladesh’s Rishad Hossain delivered a crucial breakthrough, dismissing Shubman Gill. After a wide on the second ball, Hossain bowled with intent, adjusting his length despite being hit for a boundary earlier.

Gill attempted an aggressive shot, but mistimed it, sending the ball toward long-off. Tanzim Hasan Sakib, positioned perfectly, held on to a sharp catch, ending the dangerous partnership. The wicket provided Bangladesh with a much-needed boost, halting India’s momentum and showing that persistence and smart adjustments can pay off even under pressure.
