“Abhishek and I had been practicing together for the last two months and we had placed a bet than on who would dominate the other during the match.
“During practice matches, he had dismissed me 2-3 times as well. I didn’t think he would come to bowl during Saturday’s match, but when he did, I had it in my mind that I need to hit at least one sixer of his over.”, said Gill.
