Team India’s Shubman Gill is pretty pleased with his knock as he was the lone warrior for the side in the 2nd innings of the IND vs ENG 2nd Test. The centurion opined that he should have played until 5-6 overs till Tea on Day 3. The batter scored his first century batting at number three for the Men in Blue.
IND vs ENG: Shubman Gill reflects on ton
Speaking after the day’s play at Vizag, Gill admitted that he left a bit out during the day’s play. He also reflected on the DRS call involving him and Shreyas Iyer. The batter further reacted to his father pulling him up for the shot that he was dismissed by.
“Definitely very pleased but I left a bit out there to be honest. The first one I didn’t feel it (inside edge onto pad). Shreyas told me to take it in case it’s umpire’s call. I saw the point fielder go there and I thought it was a percentage shot. Should’ve just played the 5-6 overs till tea. Pretty decent wicket to bat on. Not an easy kind of wicket to hit on the rise. Have to apply yourself because the odd one is turning and odd one is keeping low. I think so (getting pulled up by his father for that shot that got him out). I’ll get to know once I get back to the hotel but I think so. He comes for most of my games, there’s no such pressure. I think it’s 70-30 at the moment. Morning session will be key. We’ve seen there is moisture in the morning and help for fast bowlers and spinners,” Gill said.
The India‘s no.3 batter scored 104 runs before falling to Shoaib Bashir. With Zak Crawley and nightwatchman Rehan Ahmed at the crease at the end of play on Day 3, England require 332 runs on Day 4 to go 2-0 up in the series.
