IND vs NZ Live: Kyle Jamieson takes advantage of Shubman Gill’s weakness as wait for maiden Test century continues
Shubman Gill gave India a solid start on Day 1 with a fine half-century during the IND vs NZ 1st Test. Gill survived a couple of scares to stay in the crease and made it count with his fourth test half-century in nine Tests as he stitched a valuable partnership with Cheteshwar Pujara. His stay included five crisp boundaries and a stunning straight six off Ajaz Patel.
However, while commentators Simon Doull and Irfan Pathan explained how going back to his U-19 days and refining his technique helped the youngster get back amongst the runs, a flaw in the technique saw him castled by a Kyle Jameson stunner after Lunch on Day 1.

In the very first over after Lunch, Jamieson bowled a fuller delivery and got it to move in just a little bit. Gill didn’t account for the movement and the ball took the inside edge before crashing into the middle and off stump.
Gill’s dismissal continued his wait for a century in Indian whites. The Indian opener has played nine games in the longest format for India, and has four half-centuries, but has failed to kick on and score a hundred like KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma have done recently in England. Gill scored a stunning 91 at the Gabba, but was dismissed at a crucial phase while missing out on a 100.
