Shubman Gill came agonisingly close to scoring his first ODI Cricket World Cup century but was dismissed by Dilshan Madushanka during the Cricket World Cup 2023 match between India and Sri Lanka on Thursday. Gill looked in tremendous touch as he took the Sri Lankan bowlers to the cleaners and ended up slamming 11 fours and two massive sixes. He was just eight runs away from a much-deserved ton when he edged a delivery straight to wicket-keeper Kusal Mendis behind the stumps. The crowd at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai was left stunned with Gill's dismissal and the reaction of Sara Tendulkar - the daughter of legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar - went viral on social media.

Rohit tried to guide the ball towards the covers but it held its line and completely breached his defense. As a result, his off-stump was left cartwheeling as the crowd fell silent in the very first over of the Indian innings.

India and Sri Lanka famously played at the same venue in the ICC World Cup 2011 final and earlier this year, they played out a thrilling T20I contest at Wankhede, which India edged by two runs. However, heading into this game in the ongoing tournament, both sides are in very contrasting forms with different ambitions.
