OUT! CAUGHT! Gill holes out and this is a big wicket in the context of this game. A juicy full toss, outside off. Shubman Gill looks to slap it through the off side but he fails to middle it. It goes off the outer half of the blade towards Mayank Agarwal at extra cover who takes a sitter. End of a brilliant innings from Gill but he is absolutely gutted with himself.
