While it was declared out after checking replays, new pictures have surfaced showing Gill's foot touched the boundary rope.
During the ongoing Sri Lanka vs India 3rd ODI, dynamic India batter Shubman Gill took an exceptional catch of Kusal Mendis near the boundary ropes.
The incident happened on the penultimate over when Kusal Mendis tried to take on Kuldeep Yadav by pulling the spinner’s dragged-back delivery over the cow corner region.
However, Shubman showed incredible composure to take a catch right on the edge of the boundary line.
Sensing that his momentum would carry him beyond the boundary, he quickly released the ball. After stepping outside the boundary with the ball still airborne, he returned to the field of play to complete the catch.
