Gill took such a catch during Sri Lanka's first innings that everyone was surprised. The Sri Lankan team was shocked, but the players of the Indian team were also surprised. Even the commentators could not stop praising this catch of Gill.
Gill surprised
It is about the 17th over. Kuldeep Yadav came to bowl. Kamidu Mendis was in front on the very first ball. Mendis took a light walk and tried to take the ball past Gill standing at short covers, but Gill was very alert. He caught the ball by diving to his left. This catch was brilliant because the ball was very low. When Gill caught the ball, believe it or not, it was about to hit the ground when Gill's hands caught hold of it.
