Kuldeep Yadav to Kamindu Mendis, out Caught by Shubman Gill!! Captain Gill takes a stunning catch! He's absolutely elated. The Sri Lankan fans watch in disbelief - a youngster has a hand on his head in shock. Kamindu Mendis shimmies down the pitch, converts the leggie into a full ball to push-drive. Plays it uppishly as he gets too close to the pitch of the ball, gets sucked into the shot and has no control. Wouldn't have expected it to go to hand but the Indian captain had other ideas. Gill flies full length to his left at short extra-cover and grabs it one-handed inches from the ground. The ball was dying as well and that makes it extra special. Snaffles it with his left hand and ensures that the ball doesn't pop out even as he lands on the ground. Initially wanted to go with both hands, quickly realized he needed more reach, so stretched full length and took it horizontal to the ground. He throws the ball up in the air in delight and has his arms aloft before punching the air. His teammates mob him. While walking off, Kamindu was gesturing that should have played straighter. Kamindu Mendis c Shubman Gill b Kuldeep Yadav 14(25) [4s-1 6s-1]
