Gujarat Titans opener Shubman Gill was annoyed with Punjab Kings pacer Sandeep Sharma after getting run-out by a sharp Rishi Dhawan throw in match 48 of the IPL 2022 at Mumbai’s Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy on Tuesday.
The incident happened in the third over of the match when Shubman Gill tapped the ball towards short extra cover and scampered across to the other end. Rishi Dhawan collected the ball and hit it directly at the stumps at the non-striker’s end. Gill was nowhere near and he had to walk back.
He was upset as he thought Sandeep had got in his way, and he had to run around him, but Sandeep didn’t move at all in his follow-through, he was just standing his ground, so he was not at fault. It was a poor call for the single. He knocked this full ball to cover, and then just set off.
Earlier, Gujarat Titans captain Hardik Pandya won the toss against Punjab Kings and chose to bat first here at the DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai. Gujarat Titans are at the top of the points table with 16 points, having won their last five games. In their last game, they won by six wickets against the Royal Challengers Bangalore. On the other hand, Punjab Kings are at the eighth position in the points table with eight points, having registered only two wins in their last five games.
