India National Cricket Team batter Shubman Gill would be gutted by the way he got out in the second innings of the ongoing fifth Test against the Australia National Cricket Team. Sydney Cricket Ground in Sydney is hosting the match between the teams.

India National Cricket Team have come out to bat with a positive mindset in the ongoing second innings as they are eyeing to set a big total for the Australia National Cricket Team. They have cashed in all the scoring opportunities and have taken the lead past 80 runs inside 20 overs.

Shubman Gill was among the players who were following the same template, but with the way he was playing, it seemed that he would stay there till the end. The right-hander played elegant cricket shots and didn't attempt any rash shots, and this worked pretty well for him.

However, a rush of blood possibly brought an end to his innings. Shubman Gill gifted his wicket away to the Australia National Cricket Team as he played the rash shot and was back in the hut after a solid start with the bat in the ongoing second innings of the game to Beau Webster.

Beau Webster bowled a 124.6 kph ball to which Shubman Gill danced down the track and got an inside edge. Keeper Alex Carey behind the stumps came up with the magical catch as it was a brain fade shot by India's batter. He attempted to charge the seamer and threw it away.

Shubman Gill ended with the innings 13 runs off 15 balls. He also slammed two glorious boundaries but after his wicket, India National Cricket Team lost their fourth wicket and were left tottering at 78/4. The batter's tour ended on a disappointing note as well.

When he got out, it seemed that the Australia National Cricket Team would take the upper hand. However, Rishabh Pant changed the complexion of the entire game. The keeper-batter came out all guns blazing and took the attack to the Pat Cummins-led side.

Rishabh Pant smashed almost every Australian bowler all over the park and slammed a brutal half-century

Rishabh Pant smashed almost every Australian bowler all over the park and slammed a brutal half-century. The keeper-batter smashed the second-fastest fifty by the Indian National Cricket Team batter as he achieved the milestone in just 28 balls and ensured the lead in just the last 120 runs.

The India National Cricket Team would be hoping to get a lead of over 200 runs and then attempt to win the game. The Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 between the teams is in favour of Australia by 2-1 and they would be hoping to win the match and series as well.
