2nd Test: Gill Has Worked Hard On Defence, Looked Fantastic And Very Solid, Says Shastri
But Shubman Gill: Former India head coach Ravi Shastri lauded Shubman Gill for hitting his seventh Test century against England at Edgbaston, saying that it was evident the right-handed batter worked hard on his defence and looked great overall in taking the visitors’ past 300.
On day one’s play, Gill fought hard to hit his second Test century in as many games since kickstarting his Test captaincy with a fine 147 at Headingley last week as India reached 310/5 in 85 overs at stumps. Coming at number four, Gill showed immense responsibility as well as patience and played like someone extremely determined to grind it out to be unbeaten on 114 off 216 deliveries, a knock laced with 12 boundaries.
"I think India will be pretty happy with where they are at the end of day one. I think this partnership of 99 between Gill and Jadeja has got them out of what could've been a spot of bother. But they know they will need to get at least another 150 runs from here at least.
