Indian cricket sensation Shubman Gill put on a remarkable display with the bat, scoring an impressive 269 runs, as India climbed to 587 all out against England in the second Test. Senior spinner Ravindra Jadeja commended Gill's assuredness as the team's new Test captain.
Gill and Jadeja's standout 203-run partnership was pivotal, with Gill's double century setting a new record for an Asian captain in England. Despite the pitch not turning much, Jadeja expects India's spinner duo, including Washington Sundar, to apply strategic pressure on England.
England's spin bowling coach, Jeetan Patel, remains upbeat about his team's chances, declaring their potential to win despite trailing by 510 runs. He highlighted Gill's batting prowess, considering the wicket favorable for batting yet challenging with a new harder ball.
