Gill was mainly destructive against Mumbai as it was his century that put GT in a commanding position. But it could have all been very different had Tim David or Tilak managed to get the 23-year-old out.
Verma, playing after missing the last few matches due to injury, didn’t dive and let the ball bounce in front of him, much to the chagrin of Rohit.
The incident took place on the fourth ball of the eighth over of GT’s innings, when Gill was also dropped by Tim David when he was batting on 30. Dives and Rohit vents his anger.
