Shubman Gill failed to deliver with the bat, perishing for just 10 runs off 18 balls on his debut innings as skipper. The right-hander played cautiously at the start of the innings as the Men in Blue lost big guns in Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. Gill went for a flick shot but only managed to edge a length ball angling down the leg side. Josh Phillipe moved to his left to complete the catch with both hands.
Barring his 104 and 74, Gill has struggled against the Aussies in ODIs. The Punjab batter has amassed 290 runs in nine innings at an average of 32.22, including a duck and two single-digit scores.
