AHMEDABAD: It's the fourth ball of the eighth over in the third ODI, and opener Shubman Gill is walking down the track to England pacer Saqib Mahmood. Mahmood and fellow pacer Mark Wood, who has already accounted for captain Rohit Sharma, have been consistently trying to hit the lengths which will deprive batters room to hit their shots.
Gill, though, is a step ahead. The walk down the pitch allows him to manoeuvre the length, free his arms and hit the ball over wide mid-on. Gill oozes class, and he repeats the shot often during his innings.
