The dismissal came in the 45th over of India’s second innings. Atkinson bowled a length ball pitched outside off that nipped back sharply after hitting the turf. The ball hit Gill on the knee roll of the front pad. The batter challenged the decision, but the replays showed three reds.

Nonetheless, Gill finished with 754 runs across 10 innings of the five-match series. He, however, managed just 21 runs in the first innings of this game.
