[Watch] Shubman Gill hands easy catch to Prithvi Shaw and departs early in GT vs DC IPL 2024 clash
Gujarat Titans (GT) captain Shubman Gill failed to deliver with the bat against Delhi Capitals (DC) in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 game at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Wednesday (April 17). The right-handed batter departed cheaply for just eight runs off six balls as the Titans lost their opening wicket for 11 in the second over.
The dismissal came as Ishant Sharma bowled a fuller-length ball outside off and Gill went for a driver over the covers. The right-hander, though, didn't use his feet and ended up giving away a simple catch to Prithvi Shaw at covers.

Gill, however, has been impressive with the bat in IPL 2024. The 24-year-old has amassed 263 runs in seven innings, including scores of 89* and 72 against Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Rajasthan Royals (RR), respectively.
The Punjab batter is in contention for a spot in India's squad for the 2024 T20 World Cup, scheduled to take place in the USA and the West Indies in June.
