Shubman Gill takes stunning catch in slips as Mehidy Hasan Miraz departs for 5 in IND vs BAN 2025 Champions Trophy match [Watch]

Team India batter Shubman Gill took a stunning catch of Mehidy Hasan Miraz off the bowling of Mohammed Shami in India’s opening contest of the 2025 Champions Trophy against Bangladesh. Dubai International Cricket Stadium is hosting the game.

Mehidy Hasan Miraz walked out to the middle relatively early after Bangladesh lost their opener Soumya Sarkar (0 off 5) and skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto (0 off 2) cheaply, with the scoreboard reading 2/2 in the second over. Mehidy managed to take some pressure off his team, but not for long.

On the second ball of the seventh over, Shami bowled one wide of off, inviting the batter for drive. Mehidy went chasing, which resulted in a leading edge. Shubman Gill, the lone fielder in the slips, managed to jump to his right and took the catch to send him back.

Take a look at the dismissal below:

Mehidy Hasan Miraz was dismissed for five runs in 10 deliveries. With that, Mohammad Shami got to 199 wickets in ODI cricket, one short of getting to 200 ODI wickets.
