WATCH: Shubman Gill misses easy run-out chance as mix-up saves Australia in 3rd ODI vs India

The third ODI between India and Australia is a crucial match for Shubman Gill, as he looks to avoid a clean sweep in his first ODI series as captain. After losing the first two matches, another defeat would mean Australia clinch a 3-0 series win.

In this match, Australian skipper Mitchell Marsh won the toss and chose to bat first. India’s pace trio, Harshit Rana, Prasidh Krishna, and Mohammed Siraj started strongly, maintaining tight lines and restricting the scoring. Their disciplined bowling paid off when Travis Head was dismissed on the second ball of the 10th over, giving India their first breakthrough.

]Two balls later, India had a golden chance to grab their second wicket, but Shubman Gill, despite having plenty of time, missed the stumps, allowing Matthew Short to survive a mix-up with Mitchell Marsh.

“That was a complete mix-up, it should have been a run-out,” said the commentator. Fellow commentator Ravi Shastri added: “Awful mix-up. He had so much time.”
