In the 18th over of India’s chase against Pakistan in the Champions Trophy 2025, spinner Abrar Ahmed gave his team a much-needed breakthrough of Shubman gill. He bowled a carrom ball that completely fooled Shubman Gill, leaving him and hitting the stumps. A former Indian cricketer in the commentary box said the delivery reminded him of R Ashwin’s carrom ball.
