Bowling the third over of the Titans' innings, Archer delivered a peach that nipped in sharply and rattled Gill’s off-stump as he shaped for a forward push. The GT captain, who had scored an unbeaten 61 in the previous game, was dismissed for just 2 off 3 balls — his first single-digit score in five matches this season.

Poll

Do you think Rajasthan Royals made the right decision by opting to field first?

No, they should have batted first.Yes, it was a strategic move.

WATCH:

This was the third time Archer dismissed Gill in IPL history, having conceded only 10 runs in 15 deliveries bowled to him so far.
The dismissal continued Archer’s remarkable comeback after a poor start to the season, where he recorded the most expensive spell in IPL history (0/76 vs SRH). Since then, he’s bounced back, notably with figures of 3/25 against Punjab Kings before today’s impact performance.
