For a batsman averaging over 55 in ODI cricket, it almost always takes something special to get rid of them when playing on pristine batting surfaces. Unfortunately for Shubman Gill, the Indian skipper came up against one such delivery bowled by Kyle Jamieson in the third ODI in Indore.

India's endeavour to claw down 338 in the decider at Holkar Stadium got off to a roky start when the third ranked batsman in the world Rohit Sharma hit one straight to mid-on in the fourth over, two balls after being dropped. Nevertheless, in Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli they had two batsmen averaging well over 50 in the format, each having a to being their generation's greatest in the 50-over format. However, New Zealand themselves had something to say about it.

Gill and Kohli ensured the proof was in the pudding as the latter got the party underway with an emphatic pull for maximum in the sixth over before Gill joined the party the proceeding over by smoking a cut to the ropes off the towering Kyle Jamieson. Under the pump, the Kiwi quick steamed in again next ball from over the stumps and went fuller to bang the Kookaburra on length, drawing the opener forward into a straight batted defense. However, the white rock nipped back in sharply after pitching, comfortabling penetrating the huge gap between Gill's bat and pad, before grazing off his legs and crashing into the stumps to send the Indian captain packing.

Gill was dazzled by what he had just come up against and shook his head in frustration, knowing he could have done little about it, and Twitterati agreed.

Absolute peach

Really

Another one

Insane

Seriously

Sad

Gone

Failure

Bad day

Just not that guy
