Shubman Gill took a blinder to dismiss Harry Brook in the second ODI between India and England at the Barabati Stadium in Cuttack on Sunday, February 9. The 25-year-old kept running behind while keeping his eyes on the ball before pulling off the stellar catch between long-off and long-on.
As a result, Brook departed for 31 runs off 52 balls as the tourists lost their third wicket for 168 runs. With the catch, Gill ended the 66-run partnership between Joe Root and Brook.
The dismissal came in the 30th over of England’s inning. Harshit Rana bowled a slower one, an off-cutter, and Brook tried to go downtown but mistimed it. The 25-year-old played a skier and Gill did the rest, claiming one of the best catches for India in the 50-over format.
