Unka unbeaten 114 run kaafi mazbooti se khela gaya, jabki Ravindra Jadeja ne 41 run ke saath unka saath diya. England ne din ke khel mein 5 wickets liye, jismein Chris Woakes (2-59) aur Ben Stokes ka contribution kaafi ahem raha.
Positives
- Gill ka shandaar pradarshan: Shubman Gill ne 216 balls mein 114 run banaye, jo unki sabse dheemi shatabdi thi, par unki patience aur leadership ne India ko mushkil waqt se nikala. Yeh unki doosri shatabdi thi as captain, jo unhe Mohammad Azharuddin aur Virat Kohli ke elite list mein shamil karta hai.
- Jadeja-Gill partnership: 99-run ka unbroken stand dono batsmen ke beech ek mazboot foundation bana, jisse India ne din ka ant strongly kiya.
- Yashasvi Jaiswal ka aggressive start: Jaiswal ke 87 run (59 balls) ne India ko shuruati control diya, jismein unhone cover drives aur pulls se England ke bowlers ko pareshan kiya.
Negatives
- Middle-order ka wobble: Tea ke baad, India ne Rishabh Pant (25) aur Nitish Kumar Reddy (1) ke wickets jaldi khoye, jisse 161/2 se 211/5 tak score gir gaya. Pant ka rash shot selection Gill ko naraaz kiya.
- Bumrah ki kami: Jasprit Bumrah ko rest dene ka faisla controversial raha. India ke bowling attack mein kami dikhi, khaas kar jab Kuldeep Yadav ko bhi team se bahar rakha gaya.
- England ke bowlers ka pressure: Chris Woakes aur Brydon Carse ne disciplined bowling ki, aur do close LBW decisions umpireās call ke wajah se England ke haath se nikal gaye.
Historical Context
Gill ka yeh performance yaad dilata hai Virat Kohli ke 2018 Edgbaston hundred ka, jab unhone team ko akela sambhala tha. Usi tarah, Gill ne bhi apni team ke liye ek mazboot innings kheli, jab middle-order struggle kar raha tha. England ke liye, Stokes ka Jaiswal ka wicket lena unki 2002 Headingley jeet ki yaad dilata hai, jahan unhone aggressive captaincy se India ko haraaya tha.
