Shubman Gill's full-hearted effort to survive run-out goes wrong, gets badly bruised-WATCH

Team India youngster Shubman Gill finally received a chance to feature in India’s playing XI for the third Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2023. While the development of Shubman replacing star India opener KL Rahul conquered the cricketing world, the youngster was off to a good start in the match. The 23-year-old hit impressive fours against the Aussie lineup in the first innings and was also seen pulling off a full-fledged dive to complete a single.

Courtesy of his dive, Shubman ended up injuring himself and the video of the incident was quick to go viral on the internet. The incident took place in the seventh over of the match, as the youngster looked to steal a single with Cheteshwar Pujara at the non-striker’s end. As the batters took the run, Shubman had to rush back into the crease.

The opener then went flying, putting on a whole-hearted dive to enter the crease. As Gill got up, the Indian physio had to come to the pitch in order to take a look at his injury. The live broadcast of the match showed Gill’s bruises right above his waist. Luckily Shubman was awarded another four runs in the same delivery due to overthrows.
