IND vs ENG: Shubman Gill once again did what he was afraid of. That is, after a good start, he lost his wicket. Ever since Shubman started playing at number three, this is what is happening with him. Runs are not being scored from his bat continuously. In such a situation, the sword of danger is now hanging over them in the upcoming matches of this series. Meanwhile, Sarfaraz Khan has been included in the squad. But he did not get a chance to debut in today's match. In such a situation, the question is being raised whether the time has come to drop Shubman and give a chance to Sarfaraz. Meanwhile, James Anderson once again made his favorite Gill his victim.

Rohit Sharma won the toss and chose to bat first

Talking about the second match of the series being played between India and England, today Indian captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and decided to bat first. The pair of Rohit and Yashasvi Jaiswal entered the field, which made a decent start. However, contrary to their style, Rohit and Jaiswal were playing a little slowly. England captain Ben Stokes handed the ball to Shoaib Bashir, who was debuting for bowling. He created a stir by taking his first international wicket in his fourth over. He dismissed Rohit Sharma when he was playing after scoring 14 runs, while the team's total score was 40 runs. After this, Shubman Gill had to come to bat in the very first session.


Shubman Gill could not play big innings again

When Shubman Gill came to bat, he played some good shots in the beginning and it seemed that he would play a big innings today. But after this what was feared happened. That means he could not convert his good start into a big innings. When the team score was 89 runs, James Anderson ended Gill's innings. This time Gill could score only 34 runs on 46 balls. It included 5 fours. This was Anderson's first wicket of this match.

Anderson has dismissed Gill 5 times so far

Gill has always faced difficulties in front of James Anderson, whether he was opening or coming at number three. Shubman Gill and James Anderson have faced each other in seven innings so far. In this, Shubman has played 72 balls for Anderson and in this only 39 runs have come from his bat. The special thing is that out of these seven innings, Anderson has dismissed Gill 5 times. Talking about average, Gill's average in front of Anderson is only 7.80. From this it can be understood how much trouble Gill faces in front of Anderson. This was proved once again. Now it remains to be seen how Gill performs for his team in the second innings of the match.
