Shubman Gill opened the innings for India after they were set a target of just 58 runs. While Abhishek Sharma stole the limelight with his fireworks, Gill, at the other end, went under the radar, but he played a magnificent innings as well that helped India win the match. 

Shubman Gill hit some glorious shots during his stay at the crease, but one shot that caught the attention of many was the six that he hit against  UAE fast bowler Muhammad Rohid Khan. It came on the last ball of the second over and made almost everyone stand and applaud him for his heroics. 

Muhammad Rohid Khan bowled a length delivery on the pads, to which Shubman Gill came down the track and played an emphatic flick off the pads. The ball flew away over deep square-leg as the Indian vice-captain oozed his class with a proper timed shot.
