Shubman Gill's Disbelief After Ajaz Patel's Magical Delivery

India's Top-Order Batter Stunned by Patel's Rare Feat

India's opening batsman Shubman Gill was left in disbelief after being clean-bowled by New Zealand's Ajaz Patel during the second Test match in Mumbai. Patel's delivery was a thing of beauty, a perfect arm ball that deceived Gill and crashed into his stumps.

Patel's Magical Delivery

Patel's delivery was a classic example of an arm ball, a delivery that spins sharply away from the right-handed batsman. The ball pitched on middle and leg and turned sharply to hit the top of Gill's off-stump. Gill, who was expecting the ball to turn towards him, was completely bamboozled by the delivery.

Gill's Disbelief

Gill's reaction to being dismissed was one of shock and disbelief. He stood frozen for a moment, unable to believe that he had been dismissed in such a manner. He then slowly walked back to the pavilion, his head bowed in disappointment.

India's Loss

Gill's dismissal was a big blow to India, who were already struggling in the match. India eventually lost the match by 102 runs, their first Test defeat at home in over three years.

Patel's Heroics

Patel's performance in the match was nothing short of heroic. He took 10 wickets in the match, including all 10 Indian wickets in the second innings. His performance was the best by a New Zealand bowler in India and the third-best by any bowler in Test history.

Conclusion

Shubman Gill's disbelief after being dismissed by Ajaz Patel's magical delivery was a testament to the quality of Patel's bowling. Patel's performance in the match was a reminder that even the best batsmen can be deceived by a well-executed delivery.
