Shubman Gill Run Out Early 5th Test England, India

During the first day of the fifth Test cricket match between India and England at The Oval, India's captain Shubman Gill was run out in a self-inflicted and costly mistake. After a promising start with a cover drive off Jamie Overton, Gill attempted a needless single off Gus Atkinson, who quickly threw the ball to the stumps, catching Gill well short of his crease. This incident marked a significant turning point in the match, which was further disrupted by intermittent rain allowing only limited play in the afternoon session. The runout was widely criticized and highlighted as the Betfair Moment of the Day for its avoidable nature, reflecting an otherwise ordinary day of Test cricket. India struggled on a green pitch with early wickets falling, including openers Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul, with England's bowling attack particularly effective, especially from Atkinson. The weather interruptions and Gill's dismissal placed India under pressure as they managed 85 for three at tea, with Sai Sudharsan and Karun Nair at the crease.
