Samson’s Lightning Stumping Leaves Gill in Disbelief
The delivery was wide and turning away, and Gill attempted a flick. What happened next was sheer class from Sanju Samson behind the stumps. He collected the ball and dislodged the bails in a blink of an eye.
As it was quoted by commentator "This is excellent glove work from Samson, this was a poor delivery from Noor, down the leg side and turning away, Gill misses out on the flick shot and Samson behind the stumps was too quick as he whips the bails in the flash, with Gill foot in the air. That was lightening quick from Samson and CSK have their first strike".

GT's Chase After CSK Scoring 158
Earlier in the game, CSK managed to post 158 for 7 in their allotted 20 overs. The captain Ruturaj Gaikwad scored a gutsy unbeaten 74 run inning for his team to regain his form in the pressure game.
But other players from their team failed to contribute to their team in a proper way; Shivam Dube made 22 runs, Jamie Overton made 18 runs, along with others who helped CSK in making 158.
On the other hand, Gujarat Titans' Kagiso Rabada took three wickets for himself, while Arshad Khan took two wickets for his team.
At the time when Gill was bowled out, GT had scored 57 runs in 6.3 overs, still needed 100 runs from 81 balls. Sai Sudharsan was batting on their side and recently Jos Buttler came to bat.
Now after being stumped out, the momentum will be in favor of CSK, but GT needs to hold back.
