IND vs ZIM: Shubman Gill takes stunning diving catch to dismiss Sikander Raza, video viral

Shubman Gill capped off India's tour of Zimbabwe in another excellent manner as he was adjudged the Man of the Series, for scoring 245 runs in the three ODIs, including a spectacular 130-run knock in the 3rd ODI on Tuesday. The youngster was impressive through and through not just with his bat, but in his fielding as well. 

The 22-year-old had a hand in the dismissal of Sikander Raza, who scored a century to take Zimbabwe ever so close to a memorable win over India, only it didn't happen as the star batsman was dismissed. 

Gill put in a stunning diving effort as he completed the catch to put an abrupt end to Raza's knock as the hosts needed 15 runs in 9 balls.

Raza tried to clear the ropes with another big hit, only he didn't get the proper connection that was needed. Gill showed excellent athleticism to complete the catch which all but dashed Zimbabwe's hopes of a victory as India eventually won the contest by 13 runs to complete yet another clean sweep.

Talking about Gill, he scored 130 runs in 97 balls, including 15 boundaries and a solitary maximum. After the match, he came in for some well deserved praise from his teammate Axar Patel. 

"The way he's batting, the way he's converting singles and doubles, the way he's not playing a lot of dot balls, that to me is the biggest positive," Axar said.

"When he's batting, there are always singles and twos coming and he's able to put the bad balls for boundaries. He players spinners well, rotates the strike and even plays the sweep and reverse sweep well," he added.
