Yuzvendra Chahal, Shubman Gill


Yuzvendra Chahal showed his class once again by taking the huge wicket of Shubman Gill in the ongoing game between Rajasthan Royals and Gujarat Titans at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur.

Asked to bat first, RR recovered from a poor start to post a disheartening total of 196/3 in the allotted 20 overs. After Yashasvi Jaiswal and Jos Buttler departed in the powerplay, Riyan Parag and Sanju Samson shared a huge 130-run stand for their team to get them out of trouble.

Parag scored 76 runs off 48 balls with the help of three fours and five sixes before being dismissed by Mohit Sharma in the 19th over. Samson, on the other hand, remained unbeaten on 68 and took his team to a total of over 190. .

In response, GT started well with the bat. His openers Shubman Gill and Kuldeep Sen shared a 64-run first-wicket stand before Kuldeep Sen turned things around. In just two overs, he got three wickets to put RR on top.

In his first over, he dismissed Sudharsan to give RR the first breakthrough before sending back Matthew Wade and Abhinav Manohar in his second over to reduce GT to 79 for 3 from 64 for 0. Yuzvendra Chahal soon joined the party by dismissing Vijay Shankar for 16. to leave GT reeling at 111 for 4.

And although RR were on top after those four wickets, the presence of a well-placed Shubman Gill was still a big threat for them. However, Yuzvendra Chahal gave his team a breakthrough by dismissing his Indian teammate in the 16th over. Gill was stumped for 72 runs. His knock came from 44 balls and he was studded with six fours and two sixes.

Gill came out to play a big shot but Yuzvendra Chahal outplayed him by bowling a wide delivery outside off. Gill tried to bring his bat to the ball but missed before Samson removed the bails.

Interestingly, Yuzvendra Chahal was seen talking to fellow spinner Keshav Maharaj before bowling the wide delivery. In the previous two deliveries, Gill hit two fours and decided to talk to the South African star. While the details of the interaction between them are unknown, it can be said that it really worked.
