Shubman Gill was left stunned after opener KL Rahul was dismissed moments after completing his century on Day 1 of the one-off Test against Afghanistan national cricket team on Saturday, June 6, on the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium. On the opening delivery of the 61st over, Rahul brought up his twelfth Test hundred, and eleventh as an opener, with a double. <\/span><\/p>\n But on the very next ball, Ziaur Rahman Sharifi delivered a full ball outside off stump. Rahul attempted a drive but didn’t time it properly, offering a catch to Rahmanullah Gurbaz, who pulled off a pointy diving effort to his left at short extra cover. Gill reacted in disbelief, placing his right hand on his head after the dismissal.
