In the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 encounter between the two debutants franchises Gujarat Titans (GT) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), Shubman Gill took an outstanding catch to dismiss explosive Caribean batter, Evin Lewis. Varun Aaron in the 4th over bowled a short ball outside off and Lewis smacked it in the gap towards the mid-wicket but little did he know that Shubhman Gill was going to take a brilliant catch running backward.
Shubman Gill left no stone unturned running towards the ball and leaping towards the white cherry and catching it with a tight grip. Owing to the heroics of the Gujarat Titans opener, LSG was left reeling at 26/3 in just the first 4 overs of the match.
