Rajvardhan Hangargekar to Vijay Shankar
OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! Rajvardhan Hangargekar delivers big time for Chennai! Bowls it slower and fuller in length, Vijay Shankar tries to clear the mid off fielder but gets deceived by the pace of the delivery. Ends up playing the shot early and skies this one high in the air towards mid off. Mitchell Santner stationed there back tracks while keeping his eyes on the ball and completes the catch in front of his face. Gujarat are in a spot of bother now as the well-set Vijay Shankar is back in the hut.
