Gill, coming off a century against Bangladesh in India's Champions Trophy opener, seemed on track for another fifty-plus innings until he was completely stumped by Ahmed's carrom ball. In the 18th over, the sharp delivery left Gill unable to respond as it swerved and hit the middle and leg stump, causing quite a stir.
Following the dismissal, Ahmed, in a send-off to the India vice-captain, signalled him to walk to the dressing room. The celebration did not sit well with fans on social media, who ripped into the spin bowler.
Pakistan's fate hinges on Bangladesh
After just two matches into the Champions Trophy, Pakistan find themselves on the verge of elimination. They lost their opener in Karachi last week by 60 runs against New Zealand and then went down against India by six wickets in Dubai on Sunday.
However, if Bangladesh beat New Zealand on Monday in Rawalpindi, Pakistan might still be alive in the contest. They would then have to beat Bangladesh in their final game at home and expect India to take care of the Black Caps.
But Pakistan captain Mohammad Rizwan has already accepted the team's fate. Speaking to the media after the match against India, he said: "For now, we can say it’s over—that’s the truth. We have to see what Bangladesh does against New Zealand and how New Zealand performs against India, but it’s a long shot. Our fate is no longer in our hands. As a captain, I don’t like relying on these things. If we can win, we should do it on our own terms, without depending on others. I don’t care about other results. We accept that India and New Zealand beat us, and we didn’t play well."
