Carrara Oval, November 6 — Australia’s Nathan Ellis produced a moment of brilliance to dismiss Shubman Gill for 46 runs off 39 balls, breaking India’s solid start in the fourth T20I against Australia.
Ellis deceived Gill with a perfectly disguised back-of-the-hand slower delivery, pitched on a good length. Gill, attempting to hack it across the line, completely misjudged the pace. The ball sneaked under his bat and crashed into the off stump, leaving Gill stunned and Ellis roaring in delight.
Gill, who had looked comfortable against the new ball and struck four boundaries and one six, struggled to accelerate once the pitch slowed down. His dismissal halted India’s momentum as they looked to push towards a strong first-innings total.
It was yet another example of Ellis’s growing reputation for smart variations and execution under pressure — a reminder that even set batters can be undone by precision and guile.
