Mohali, September 7: In a friendly rivalry, Abhishek Sharma celebrated wildly after dismissing Team India captain and his teammate Shubman Gill in the Fazilka Falcons vs Amritsar Soormas clash in the Sher-e-Punjab T20 League 2026 at the Punjab Cricket Association IS Bindra Stadium in Mohali on Monday. The fans were excited to witness the battle between the two star cricketers who were face-to-face on the field.
Surprisingly, Abhishek dismissed Gill when he came on to bowl in the 10th over of the match. Gill was going strong and had already scored his half-century. The wicket came after he smashed two sixes off Abhishek in the same over.
