His next cricketing assignment is scheduled for August, when India visit Bangladesh for the three -match ODI series starting on August 17.Meanwhile, India suffered a disappointing loss in Headingley, where England set a target of 371 runs in the fourth innings-their second most successful chase and most against India in the observance.
Former England captain Nasir Hussain, speaking on Sky Sports, was important for the start of Gill’s captaincy.“I noticed someone had found his way. He did not have that on-field aura of Rohit and Kohli. I felt that he had followed the ball a lot and he was reactive instead of being active. When Rohit and Kohli captained, you saw below and immediately knew who was in this game.England’s victory was anchored by Ben Docket’s Explosives 149, which was assisted by Route’s unbeaten 53 and debutant Jamie Smith’s stable 44 Not Out.Despite India, claiming five individual centuries in both innings – Shubman Gill, KL Rahul, Yashsvi Jaiswal, and Rishabh Pant reached all triple figures – the team failed to turn that dominance into a victory.
Exposing Gill’s leadership struggle, Hussain also said that the young captain was not guilty only for the loss.Referring to India’s dirty fielding and major mid-ordered failures, he said, “India lost the match due to two things, which could not control Gill-catch and batting fell,” he said, “He said, referring to India’s dirty fielding and major middle-order failures.”India had England on weak positions – 276/5 in the first innings and 333/4 in the second – but failed to capitalize. Important batting collapse noticed that India lost 7 wickets for 41 runs in their first innings and 6 for 31, finally swinging the match in England’s favor.
