Shubman Gill vs Punjab Kings IPL 2026: Nothing can happen to Shubman Gill! Test batting in IPL! Got out after eating 27 balls

New Chandigarh: Shubman Gill proved the decision of the Indian selectors right when he was dropped from the T20 World Cup squad at the last moment. In IPL 2026, on the evening of 31 March, Gujarat Titans captain Gill wasted 27 balls to score 39 runs. In the match being played at Maharaj Yadvendra Singh Stadium in Mullanpur, against the host Punjab Kings, Shubman lost his wicket on a relatively slow ball of leg spinner Yuzvendra Chahal.

Shubman Gill was out on Chahal's slow ball.
Gill became the victim of Yuzvendra Chahal for the fourth time. The legbreak ball coming at a speed of 78 kilometers per hour tilted towards the leg side and Gill sat on one knee and hit the shot for a slog sweep. The bat hit the top edge and the ball went to deep midwicket. Fielder Cooper Conley present there did not make any mistake in taking the catch. In this way Gujarat's score became 89/2 in 9.3 overs. Chahal was bowling at a slow pace and was expecting Gill to show pace and power. The shot selection was right, but it did not work.
