IND vs ENG: The final and decisive match of the five-Test series between India and England is being played at the historic Oval ground in London. In this exciting match, a childish act of Indian captain Shubman Gill was seen, which not only ended his innings but also put the Indian team in trouble.Rain stopped the first session, India's solid startAfter losing the toss, the Indian team came out to bat first and scored 72 runs for the loss of 2 wickets in the first session. The game had to be stopped for some time due to rain, till then captain Shubman Gill was present at the crease with 15 runs. As soon as the second session started after the rain stopped, Gill started well, but one of his mistakes changed the course of the match.Gill's mistake, England got the wicket as a giftIn the 28th over, England fast bowler Gus Atkinson came to bowl. Gill did not take any run on the first ball of the over. He played the second ball lightly in front and ran to take a run. But Atkinson showed speed and caught the ball and aimed it straight at the wicket. Gill, who had reached halfway up the pitch at that time, failed to return. He was run out after scoring 21 runs in 35 balls. Gill's face while returning to the pavilion was clearly expressing his disappointment.Gill became a victim of run out for the second timeShubhman Gill has played 37 matches in his Test career so far, and this was his second run out. Earlier, he was also run out in the home Test series against England last year. In this series, Gill missed out on scoring a century for the first time after crossing the 20-run mark. Earlier on this tour, whenever he crossed the 20-run mark, a century was seen from his bat.What will be the impact on the Indian innings?Gill getting out like this can be a big setback for the Indian team. As a captain, it was his responsibility to handle the innings and make a long partnership. Now this responsibility has come on the middle-order batsmen. Will the Indian team be able to recover from this loss and post a strong score against England? It will be interesting to see.
