Chasing a target of 312 runs in the second ODI against the West Indies in Port of Spain, India lost Shikhar Dhawan early on. The combination of Gill and Shreyass Iyer led India forward.
Shubman Gill, who was batting brilliantly, threw away his wicket in the strangest manner. The incident happened in the 16th over. Tried to play a scoop shot against a slow length delivery from Kyle Meyers. The young Indian player looked to implement the ‘Dilscoop’ introduced to world cricket by Sri Lankan legend Thilakaratne Dilshan.
But he hit the edge of the bat and gave the bowler an easy catch. Gill returned to the pavilion scoring 43 runs off 49 balls with five boundaries.
Kyle Myers took his second wicket of the match after 10 balls, dismissing Suryakumar Yadav for just nine runs. But Iyer put on a brilliant 99-run partnership with Sanju Samson, both of whom scored half-centuries respectively. Later, Axar Patel’s firework performance led India to victory
