Shubman Gill’s dive
In the seventh over, Shubman Gill had to dive to save his wicket. The call for the quick run was from himself. A direct hit would be close enough to make Gill walk back to the pavilion. He got out in the very next over of the match. He got out to LBW by Kuhnemann.
Rohit Sharma won the toss in the third test and was elected to bat first. The first ball of the match itself was a wicket but the Bowling team didn’t take the review. The ball was spinning more than in the last two test matches. Matthew Kuhnemann took his maiden five-fer in test cricket. He took the wickets of both the Shubman Gill and Rohit Sharma of the Indian team.
