Shubman Gill’s Struggles Continue in Australia as Sara Tendulkar Spotted on Broadcast: India’s vice-captain Shubman Gill’s rough run in Australia continued after he once again failed to make an impact in the third T20I of the five-match series. During the live broadcast, fans couldn’t help but notice legendary batter Sachin Tendulkar’s daughter, Sara Tendulkar, appearing on screen right after Gill’s dismissal, sparking a lot of chatter online.
Australia Set a Competitive Total in Hobart
After being asked to bat first, Australia posted a strong total of 186 for 6 at the Bellerive Oval on Sunday, November 2. Tim David and Marcus Stoinis were the stars of the innings, smashing 74 and 64 respectively to put the hosts in control.
For India, Arshdeep Singh stood out with three wickets, while Varun Chakravarthy added two to his tally, keeping Australia from going past the 200-mark.
Watch: Sara Tendulkar Captured on Camera After Shubman Gill’s Dismissal
Shubman Gill’s stay at the crease was short-lived. Nathan Ellis produced a brilliant yorker that hit Gill on the front pad before he could bring his bat down. The delivery straightened after pitching, catching him in front as he planted his front foot across the line.
The on-field umpire’s LBW decision stayed after a review, with the ball-tracking showing all three reds and confirming that the ball was crashing into leg stump. Shubman Gill managed 15 runs off 12 balls before burning the review. Ellis, who bowled beautifully in the powerplay, also removed both Indian openers early on.

“He Needs to…” – Irfan Pathan Criticizes Shubman Gill After 2nd T20I
Former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan didn’t hold back his thoughts after Gill’s poor outing in the second T20I. Speaking on his YouTube channel, Pathan pointed out that Shubman Gill hasn’t done enough to make the most of the opportunities he’s been given.
“Questions will also be raised about Shubman Gill. Look, Shubman Gill has replaced Sanju Samson, who had scored three centuries, to open the innings for India’s T20 team.”
“In his last ten innings, he hasn’t even scored a total of 200 runs, so the pressure will be on him. He’s getting opportunities, he’s getting the backing, but he needs to convert those chances into performances, which hasn’t happened yet,” he added.
Australia’s Batting Wobbles Before Tim David and Stoinis Rescue Them
For this crucial match, India made three changes, bringing back Arshdeep Singh, Jitesh Sharma, and Washington Sundar. The visitors chose to bowl first, and the decision paid off early as Arshdeep dismissed Travis Head and Josh Inglis during the powerplay.
However, Australia bounced back strongly through Tim David and Marcus Stoinis. Both played aggressive knocks, with David scoring 74 off 38 balls and Stoinis adding 64 off 39. Their partnership pushed the hosts to a fighting total of 186 in 20 overs.
Among the bowlers, Arshdeep led the attack with three wickets, while Varun Chakravarthy picked up two and Shivam Dube chipped in with one.
India’s Chase in Progress
Chasing 187, India reached 152 for 5 after 16 overs at the time of writing. Washington Sundar was batting on 33 from 15 balls, and Jitesh Sharma was supporting him with 10 from 6 deliveries. With both players at the crease, India were hoping for a late surge to keep the series alive.
