“Shubman Gill worked on his defense,” said Shastri on Sky Sports. “When he came for the last time to England, he played with hard hands, pushed to the ball – a bit like Virat Kohli. But now the upper hand is much more in control. It allows the ball to come to him, trusts his defense and all the shots in the book when he starts. “”
Highlighting the vital unbeaten partnership of 99 points with Ravira Jadeja (41 *), Shastri added: “India will be quite happy. This stand brought them out of what could have been a place to disturb. But tomorrow morning is crucial – they will need at least 150. They can afford to lose a single counter in the first hour.”The former captain of England Nasser Hussain echoes the feelings of Shastri, noting the importance of capitalizing on the solid base. “As delighted, they should get this total up to 450 and beyond tomorrow. My eyes are on India-can they compensate for their mistakes the last time?”Hussain also recognized the tireless quisors of England, saying: “It was flat terrain. You cannot blame the effort. But this 99 -point partnership transformed the game. Before him, England was ahead – unlike Headingley.”While day 2 invites, all eyes remain on India to consolidate and avoid another Headingley style collapse.
