After impressing one and all with his maiden international century, India batter Shubman Gill left everyone stunned with a remarkable catch in the third and final ODI against Zimbabwe at Harare Sports Club on Monday (August 22).

Chasing 290 to win, Zimbabwe batter Sikandar Raza took the hosts close to the target with a stunning hundred. However, the right-hander got out in the penultimate over for 95-ball 115 and the home team fell 13 runs short of the target.

In his attempt to hit a big shot, Raza tried to smash Shardul Thakur over long-on but he didn’t get the desired elevation. Gill, on the other hand, timed his forward jump to perfection to pluck the catch inches above the ground.

Here’s the video:

Coming to the match, India rode on Shubman Gill’s maiden ODI ton to post 289/8 on the board in the first half.

In reply, Sikandar Raza’s century took Zimbabwe on the brink of victory but they lost the grip of the match in the last two overs and was eventually bundled out for 176 in 49.3 overs.
