Shubman Gill is a gem of India. He plays brilliantly in every match. In this Test match against England, Shubman Gill played 387 balls alone in which he scored 269 runs. His run rate in this long game was about 0.7%. Run rate is not a big issue in Test matches, it is the long stay on the field that is the big issue here. A player scoring 269 runs alone will surprise everyone. India is capable of many more big achievements with the help of Shubman Gill. When I enjoy India's game, I look forward to watching Gill play. He is very clever and tries to play every ball very finely. Currently, my favorite player in the Indian team is Shubman Gill.
The Indian batsmen batted much better than I expected. The team scored a huge 587 runs. I expected India's innings to end before 500. Shubman Gill played the biggest innings. We saw a huge innings of 269 runs from Shubman Gill. Also, Washington Sundar and Jadeja's innings were very necessary. These two batsmen scored 42 and 89 runs respectively.
England could not make a good start. The team lost three wickets for just 25 runs. Especially the two experienced batsmen like Ben Duckett and Ollie Pope could not add any runs to the scoreboard. England's total was only 77 runs after losing 3 wickets at the end of the day. Joe Root, Harry Brook and Stokes all three will have to bat well if England do not want to be defeated.
