Gill defends this back to the bowler with a stride forward and is yet to get off the mark after facing seven deliveries.

Dushmantha Chameera from the other end. Gill punches this length ball outside off solidly to point. This is defended to mid-off off the front foot. Blocked to cover with a confident front-foot defensive shot. Back of a length on a tight line just outside off and Gill lets it go. Four dots in a row. Beaten! This jags back in sharply and goes through Gill’s defence and over the stumps. Maiden over from Chameera.
- November 02, 2023 14:02WIND 8/1 in 1 over
Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill will open the batting for India. Expect another brisk start, especially considering how teams batting first have gone about setting totals at Wankhede. Dilshan Madushanka with the ball. FOUR! First-ball boundary. Too straight and swinging into the pads and Rohit flicks it to the fine-leg boundary. OUT! Bowled! Off-stump goes flying and Rohit has to go! This one shaped away even as Rohit expected another in-ducker. Virat Kohli is in next and whips this off his pads and the ball just falls short of the short fine-leg fielder. This is straight and on a length and Kohli defends this back to the bowler. Full and driven to mid-off by Kohli for a dot ball. FOUR! Full and on the pads again and this time Kohli flicks it very fine and to the boundary.
