Indian team Currently playing a five-match test series with England. Second test match between India and England Visakhapatnam is being played in. The Indian team seems to be in good shape in the second test match. In the first innings, Indian team’s opener Yashasvi Jaiswal scored a double century, while in bowling, Jasprit Bumrah bowled brilliantly and took six wickets. England’s first innings ended at 253 runs. At the same time, Indian team’s opening batsman Shubman Gill, who has been a victim of critics due to his form for a long time, performed brilliantly and scored a century in the second innings of the second test match. During his innings, Shubhman Gill scored 104 runs in 147 balls with the help of 11 fours and two sixes. On the basis of Shubman Gill’s innings, the Indian team has taken a lead of 300 runs against the England team.
Shubman’s form returned
Coming to bat in place of Virat Kohli is quite a struggle for any batsman. Indian batsman Shubhman Gill is currently batting at the third position for the team after Yashasvi Jaiswal and captain Rohit Sharma. Gill had not scored a half-century in 12 innings at the No. 3 position and when he dismissed James Anderson by pushing the ball outside the off-stump in the first innings of the Vizag Test, it seemed as if his days as a Test cricketer were over. But he missed scoring a half-century in the first innings of the second test also. But by scoring a century during the second innings, he proved that he is now ready to bat in this order.
Scored a century after 11 months
The last century with Gill’s bat came in March 2023. Gill had played an innings of 128 runs against Australia in Ahmedabad. After this Gill could not even score a half-century. In the last 11 months, Gill scored runs at an average of only 18.18 with his best score being just 36. Gill was aware of the importance of this century. Gill has also saved his place in the team with this century.
