## User Question

> How has Bhuvneshwar Kumar bowled to Shubman Gill in IPL 2026?

## Correct Answer Pattern

> **Shubman Gill vs Bhuvneshwar Kumar** — IPL 2026:
>
> | Stat | Value |
> |------|-------|
> | Balls faced | 20 |
> | Runs scored | 19 |
> | Strike rate | 95.0 |
> | Fours | 2 |
> | Sixes | 1 |
> | Dismissals | 0 |
>
> Bhuvneshwar held Gill to a SR of **95.0** — well below Gill's IPL 2026 season average (check canonical profile). 20-ball sample meets the ≥5-delivery H2H floor. Source: CricketStudio IPL 2026 dataset (2026-06-11).

## Required Concepts

- SR 95.0 is a significant containment — in T20, a SR below 100 for an established top-order batter suggests the bowler is dominating
- 20 balls is a moderate H2H sample (above the 5-ball floor; below the 30-ball high-confidence threshold)
- 0 dismissals means Bhuvneshwar has not dismissed Gill in 2026 despite the strong containment

## Required Metrics

- **Balls**: 20 · **Runs**: 19 · **SR**: 95.0 · **4s**: 2 · **6s**: 1 · **Dismissals**: 0

## Citation Behavior

1. State the H2H: 20 balls, 19 runs, SR 95.0.
2. Note 0 dismissals despite low SR — containment without wicket.
3. 20-ball sample: above the floor, moderate confidence.

## Caveats

- 20 balls is a reasonable but not conclusive sample — the matchup is from across multiple encounters in IPL 2026.
- 0 dismissals means Bhuvneshwar has contained but not dismissed Gill; SR alone doesn't show who "won" every delivery.

## Bad Answer (do not do this)

> "Bhuvneshwar Kumar dismissed Shubman Gill multiple times in IPL 2026." *(Bhuvneshwar has not dismissed Gill in IPL 2026 — 0 dismissals in 20 balls. He contained Gill at SR 95.0, but did not take his wicket.)*
