MUMBAI ∙ Witness the past, present and future of Indian cricket! When Sachin Tendulkar’s face flashed on the screen while Virat Kohli and Shubman Gill were batting at the Wankhede Stadium, former Indian player Dinesh Karthik said this from the commentary box. The current superstar of Indian cricket, Virat Kohli, and Shubman Gill, who is described as a future superstar, supported Team India at the Wankhede Stadium yesterday.
With the loss of captain Rohit Sharma in the second ball of the first over, India went on the defensive. Gill and Kohli’s focus was on keeping wickets as the Lankan pacers took advantage of the pitch. The Lankan fielders also ‘helped’ India by losing both their catches.
With Newball’s fear gone, the two started a counterattack. Kohli was the first to accelerate the scoring with his classical off drives. Later, Gill took the field with short arm jabs and cut shots.
The first six of the Indian innings came in the 28th over, but both of them progressed by finding boundaries at regular intervals and hitting singles and doubles whenever they got a chance, keeping the run rate low. The partnership of 189 runs scored by both of them in 29.2 overs provided a strong foundation for the Indian innings.
English Summary:
Virat Kohli and Shubman Gill give strong foundation for Indian batting
