Fans were astonished by the performance of Shubhman Gill in the first ODI match against Australia
Shubman Gill continued his brilliant form for India with a sensational knock of 74 against Australia on his home ground in Mohali in the first ODI on Friday, September 22. He scored these runs in only 63 balls and smashed the Australian bowlers to all parts of the ground.
The visitors were defending arguably an under-par target of 277 runs to win the match and needed early wickets. However, Gill ensured that he got his team off to a solid start and powered his way to yet another half-century.
Fans on X were thrilled to see the kind of shot selection on display from Shubman Gill and the way he dominated the bowlers. One of the fans said, “Dominant fifty by Gill. not for the first time this year has comfortably looked like the best batter in the game,” whereas another user wrote, "I've said it a couple of times in the past. Let me say it again: The only thing that can stop Shubhman Gill from shuttering ODI records is ODI cricket itself,” and so on.
With some big names resting, India went in with a new opening combination of Shubman Gill and Ruturaj Gaikwad, and the two aesthetically pleasing batsmen got into their groove straightaway.
