Jofra Archer Rattler Shubman Gill, GT Suffer An Early Setback
The moment happened in the first ball of the third over when Jofra Archer delivered a 147.7kph delivery to Shubman Gill. The England pacer tossed a full delivery around off, and Gill was tempted to push it ahead, but there was a significant gap between the bat and pad. Archer's delivery swung in, and it crashed into the off-stump as Gill's bat came down late. It was a massive blow for the Titans as they lost their top batter. Archer's accuracy was on-spot as he managed to dismiss the GT skipper, who had faced just three deliveries in the game and had scored only two runs.
Jofra Archer instantly leapt in joy as the Rajasthan Royals got themselves an early breakthrough. Even Shubman was disappointed after the dismissal, as the movement of the ball also surprised him after missing the shot.
