Shubman Gill was dismissed just after he scored his maiden Test fifty in the third Test match against Australia in Sydney. He added a 70-run stand with Rohit Sharma (26) to give India a good start and then got to his fifty just after Rohit was dismissed. He played 101 balls during his knock and made the world believe that he belongs to the big stage. He hit as many as eight boundaries during his knock and played with a good intent and a positive footwork.
Gill played his maiden Test in Melbourne and scored 45 and 35* in the two innings. He was unbeaten as he took India to a series-leveling win at the MCG.
This is how Shubman Gill was dismissed.
