Gill was on the receiving end of a woeful record as he went back to the pavilion in despair.
Ahmedabad: Star Indian batter, Shubman Gill bagged an unwanted record on Sunday at the ICC World Cup 2023 Final between India and Australia at the Narendra Modi Stadium as he joined the likes of Sachin Tendulkar, Sunil Gavaskar and Virender Sehwag in woeful list.
All of the above mentioned legends have scored single digits scores in the respective finals of the ODI World Cup and the young batter, Gill has followed suit by registering only 4 runs.
This is the 4th ODI World Cup India are playing in and in every World Cup final since then, key Indian batters have faltered and have managed to get a single score.
Sunil Gavaskar in the 1983 World Cup scored 2, Sachin Tendulkar bagged 4 in the 2003 World Cup and Virender Sehwag was sent back to the pavilion for a duck in 2011.
Speaking about the match, India went off to a good start in the initial 15 overs despite losing 3 key wickets. Virat Kohli and KL Rahul did really well to get the score back on track but then after their respective fifties, they succumbed to clumsy shot selections.
Gil was dismissed by Mitchell Starc as Adam Zampa took a fine catch. Mitchell Starc was the pick of the bowlers as he finished with figures 10-55-3. Rohit scored 47, while Virat and Rahul scored 54 and 66 respectively. Shreyas Iyer just like Gill scored just 4 runs on the board.
A lot was expected from Jadeja but he went out for just 9. India were batting at 223/8 as of the 47th over with Suryakumar Yadav and Kuldeep Yadav at the crease.
