KL Rahul and Shubman Gill
IND vs ENG: Indian batsmen continued their dominance in the ongoing Test against England, adding 302 runs on the second day and taking their lead to 175 runs on Friday. When the umpires announced stumps at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad, KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja were the biggest batsmen of the day. Both scored 80+. Whereas Jadeja is still standing at the crease.
However, the beginning of the second day was bad for Team India. India had added only four runs on the second day when they lost young Yashasvi Jaiswal who scored a brilliant 80 off 74 balls. Gill also got out cheaply after scoring just 23 runs in 66 balls. Gill’s poor form continues in Test cricket and he still seems to be in a lot of trouble while batting at number 3. Shubman Gill came to bat on the first day when India lost the wicket of Rohit Sharma after a fast start. Gill survived a close LBW appeal on Thursday and looked in trouble throughout his innings on Friday.
Gill’s poor performance continues
Gill has been able to score only 189 runs at a poor average of 23.62 in nine Test innings played at number 3. His overall batting average has also fallen to 30. Gill has not yet been able to perform the feat of his ODI and T20 cricket in Test cricket. Former English star Kevin Pietersen, while talking to KL Rahul after the match, asked many questions about Gill’s number 3 role. Rahul defended his partner and said that Gill was trying to defend his wicket in the last session on the first day of the match. Was doing. This is the reason why he appeared to be in a little trouble.
Rahul came to Gill’s defense
Rahul told Kevin Pietersen that when it comes to Shubman, I think he came into a situation yesterday where he had to defend his wicket till the end of the day’s play. He said that sometimes when you get into this kind of mentality, you may find it difficult to play freely and even today I can feel that he was just trying to break the bonds and make her feel good. Wanted the shot.
