Shubman Gill was batting at an aristocratic level.“Obviously, the way he bowled – the sky especially deep – they grew up playing on the surfaces where you have received to slam that a little full full length, and the bowling presented us with those opportunities first.“Obviously, Footmark also started making some issues. You do not always get every decision.”
