WTC Final Day 4: Virat Kohli playfully scares Shubman Gill after Indian opener misfields

The World Test Championship (WTC) Final between India and Australia continued to showcase intense moments on Day 4. Amidst the serious nature of the match, there was a lighthearted incident involving Indian captain Virat Kohli and young batsman Shubman Gill that brought a smile to the faces of fans.

During the morning session, India’s pacer Mohammed Shami bowled a tight over, conceding no runs until the last delivery. Shubman Gill, positioned at slip fielding position, missed what seemed like an easy stop, allowing the ball to trickle away to the boundary for four runs. It was the only delivery that went for runs in Shami’s over, which otherwise consisted of maiden deliveries.
