ICC Cricket World Cup 2023: [WATCH] Shubman Gill Smashes A Stunning Shot Out Of The Stadium

India’s opening batsman, Shubman Gill, who had been experiencing a rather average performance in the ongoing World Cup 2023, showcased a remarkable turnaround at the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore during Sunday’s match against the Netherlands. This particular game held significant importance as it preceded the crucial semi-final.

In a dazzling display of aggressive batting on the flat pitch, both Gill and Rohit Sharma unleashed their prowess. Surprisingly, Gill outshone even Rohit in terms of aggression. After 8 overs, India reached an impressive score of 73/0. Gill, in particular, demonstrated his destructive form by smashing 34 runs off just 18 balls, boasting a striking rate of 188. On the other hand, Rohit Sharma contributed 37 runs in 31 balls, striking at 123.

The Dutch bowlers found no relief as the Indian openers dominated from both ends. One of the most spectacular moments of the day occurred early on when Shubman Gill sent a straight six off-spinner Aryan Dutt’s delivery soaring to an astounding 95 meters, ultimately hitting the roof of the Chinnaswamy Stadium.

A highlight of Gill’s exceptional performance was witnessed on the last ball of the third over. Dancing down the pitch to a length ball from Aryan Dutt, Gill executed a perfect shot, sending the ball sailing over deep mid-wicket, reaching the roof of the Chinnaswamy Stadium. The sheer height and distance of the shot left everyone in awe, as neither fielder nor spectator could have anticipated or caught such a spectacular hit.

Having won the toss, Rohit Sharma opted to bat first, maintaining the same playing XI for India. As the team heads into the semi-final, Gill’s explosive innings against the Netherlands adds a layer of excitement and anticipation for Indian cricket fans.
