NEW DELHI: Shubman Gill’s poor run in T20Is continued as the batter fell for a golden duck during the second India vs South Africa T20I at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur, New Chandigarh.

Chasing a daunting total of 214, India lost Shubman Gill in the very first over. South Africa pacer Lungi Ngidi struck with a seaming delivery that moved away slightly.
