Shubman Gill loses his wicket to CSK's intern bowler in his first match of Sher-e-Punjab T20 league
While fans expected Arshdeep Singh to be Shubman Gill's arch-nemesis in the Sher-e-Punjab Trophy, instead it is a CSK intern bowler who took his wicket.
In Shubman Gill's debut match as captain for the Fazilka Falcons in the Sher-e-Punjab T20 League, he was dismissed for 40 runs by CSK's former intern bowler Kartik Chadha. Gill's innings, featuring seven fours and a six, came in just 21 balls before Chadha's leg-spin dismissed the India skipper. Chadha, a 21-year-old right-arm leg-spinner and left-handed middle-order batter from Jalandhar, played for Punjab in youth cricket and was brought into CSK's 2025 IPL squad as an intern bowler.
His performance in dismissing the Indian captain marked the first time he had played for Fazilka Falcons in the league, following a four-match absence to attend the BCCI's performance review meeting in Mumbai. The Falcons ultimately fell short of their target in the match.
