Currently, the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are locking horns with Rajasthan Royals (RR) in the ongoing season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) at the iconic Eden Gardens in Kolkata. After winning the toss, the RR skipper, Steve Smith asked the hosts to bat first and his decision paid him rich dividends as they got the prized wicket of Chris Lynn in the first over itself.

During the toss, the KKR skipper, Dinesh Karthik said that they have made two changes in their squad as Harry Gurney and KC Cariappa made way for Carlos Brathwaite and Prasidh Krishna. On the other hand, RR also made a couple of changes as Ashton Turner and Dhawal Kulkarni made way for Oshane Thomas and Varun Aaron.

Surprisingly, Shubman Gill came out to open the innings with Lynn, despite Sunil Narine being in the squad. Lynn was dismissed by Aaron in the very first over, then Nitish Rana started building a partnership with Gill, but they only managed to score just 31 runs for the second wicket before the latter getting out in the 5th over by the same bowler.

On the final ball of the over, Aaron cleaned up the youngster with a beauty. The ball started way outside off and swung back in sharply as Gill came down on the ball with an angled bat, getting a slight inside edge back onto his stumps. Gill was looking to ease it through the off-side and ended up playing outside the line of it. It was some banana swing on the ball. On the previous ball of the same over, Gill smashed the bowler for a four with a ferocious cut shot on the 150kph ball.

Here is the video of the dismissal:
