Team India's vice-captain and star batsman Shubman Gill is running in excellent form these days. In ODI cricket, Gill's bat is continuously leaving runs. In the Champions Trophy too, Gill has made a great start by continuing his performance. Gill had scored a brilliant century against Bangladesh, but this batsman also showed his anger against Pakistan and Pakistan's fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi became a victim of his anger. Gill's anger erupted because Shaheen had dismissed Team India captain Rohit Sharma in front of his eyes.

Afridi bowled Rohit

In this match of the Champions Trophy on Sunday 23 February in Dubai, the Pakistani team batted first and scored 241 runs.

In response, the Indian team once again attacked the bowlers of Pakistan. In particular, captain Rohit Sharma targeted Shaheen Shah Afridi and hit fours and sixes. But Shaheen made a comeback soon and bowled Rohit on the last ball of the fifth over. Shaheen scattered Rohit's stumps on a great yorker and the Pakistani team jumped in joy.

Angry Gill rained fours

Shubman Gill, standing on non-stroke, was watching all this carefully and the disappointment on his face was clearly visible as soon as Rohit was out.

Then the celebrations of the Pakistani team made Gill angry and they did not take much time to avenge it. On Shaheen, who returned for bowling in the seventh over, Gill took full anger and rained fours. Gill scored 14 runs in this over, raining 3 fours. Gill's revenge was not over and he again gathered 2 fours in the next over of Shaheen, out of which one boundary was given directly to the head of Shaheen.

Shubman missed the half -century

Due to this attack of Gill, Pakistani captain Mohammad Rizwan did not give the next over to Shaheen and hit Haris Rauf on bowling.

In his first spell, Shaheen took Rohit's wicket but in just 5 overs he spent 43 runs, including 8 fours. However, this strong innings of Gill could not change in a big score this time and he got out of the half -century. This time Gill scored 46 runs in 52 balls and leg -spinner Abrar Ahmed returned to the pavilion boldly on the best ball.
