India National Cricket Team vice-captain Shubman Gill played a magnificent innings in the first game of the three-match ODI series against the England National Cricket Team. The series opener between the teams took place at the Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium in Nagpur.
Shubman Gill was the shining light for the India National Cricket Team in the first ODI against the England National Cricket Team. He was demoted to No.3 because of the presence of Yashasvi Jaiswal, but he made sure that he came up with the gigantic effort.
Shubman Gill walked out to bat when the India National Cricket Team lost Yashasvi Jaiswal, and after that, Rohit Sharma perished, too. He looked unfazed by the wickets falling at the other end and made sure that he sealed the game for his team with his magical effort with the bat.
Shubman Gill slammed a solid half-century and put the England National Cricket Team bowlers under massive pressure
Shubman Gill slammed a solid half-century and put the England National Cricket Team bowlers under massive pressure. The right-hander played some magnificent shots in his innings and ensured that he gained his touch back after having a tough last few months with the bat.
With the way he was batting, Shubman Gill looked all set for a big hundred, but he gifted his wicket away and had only himself to blame for not scoring a ton. The batter came up with the rare doubt-hit shot, which saw his downfall, and he had to take a long walk back.
Saqib Mahmood bowled a short ball to which Shubman Gill backed away to pull. He got cramped up for the room as the India National Cricket Team batter attempted to play the short-arm jab pull. He didn't get the proper connection as the ball hit the splice of the bat.
After hitting the splice of the bat, the ball then took the bottom of the bat and went to mid-on instead of mid-wicket. Jos Buttler, who was stationed there, took a brilliant catch to send the batter packing.
