Fed to the Gills, Liam ‘Filler-a-Miller’ Livingstone & Bowler, the boulder

Shubman Gill wasn’t happy, but it felt like he was not owning up to his mistake. Gill misjudged the single, after pushing a Sandeep Sharma delivery towards extra cover. To start with, he timed the ball a little too well and it travelled quickly to Rishi Dhawan. Gill set off as soon as he hit the ball and maybe he was confident to take on Dhawan’s arm.

The batsman had to get around Sharma who was completing his follow-through. Dhawan broke the stumps with a direct hit and Gill was well short. It didn’t even need the third umpire. But Gill thought that Sharma got in the way and seemingly took umbrage.

Not a fair call that. The bowler wasn’t guilty and Gill searching for an excuse attested frustration.

Rahul Chahar hurt his hand while taking a throw, forcing him to temporarily leave the field. Liam Livingstone had to come in as a filler, in the middle of an over. Livingstone’s bowling variety is right-arm mixed bag – off-spin is his stock delivery to the left-handers and leg-spin to the right-handers.
