In the ongoing 3rd ODI between India and Sri Lanka, the hosts opted to bat first and have kept the openers same throughout the ODI series.
With Gill coming back in action, the openers smashed 23 runs in Kumara’s over after settling in with some initial defence.
Shubman Gill smashed four boundaries in a row and this back-to-back boundaries has put the visitors in confusion as Gill plays in T20 mode at an One Day International.
Kumara conceded 23 runs in the 6th over of the innings.
India have scored 45 runs and the openers are nearing a 50-run partnership under 8 overs.
Four boundaries in a row from @ShubmanGill 👌👌
