In the first innings of the second Test match against England, Team India skipper Shubman Gill played an unbeaten knock of 114 runs at stumps on Day 1.

He will resume Day 2 alongside Ravindra Jadeja. So far, Gill has faced 216 deliveries and hit 12 boundaries in his innings.

Speaking on his brilliant batting performance, former Team India head coach Ravi Shastri said, "Shubman Gill has worked hard on his defence. When he last came to England, he played with hard hands, pushed at the ball, a bit like Virat Kohli. But now, the top hand is in much more control. He allows the ball to come to him, trusts in his defence and has all the shots in the book when he goes on the attack".
