Emotional view! Shubman Gill broke after scoring 147 in his first Test as the captain of India. Cricket news
New Delhi: Shubman Gill knocked a captain in his first outing as a Test skipper of India, with a brilliant score in the first Test against England in Headingly, Leeds. It was his first test century as captain, and it came in a significant moment as India claimed early dominance in the five -match series.Gill looked ready for a double hundred, but when he attempted an aggressive slogan with England spinner Shoaib Bashir, he decreased. The mid-wicket left open, Gill tried to target the deep, but the ball grabbed the inner half of his bat and went straight into the feet of the deep square to the tongue. He appeared to be eyeing his 150 style, but incorrectly ended a brilliant innings, stroke.As Gill went out of the ground, the headingley grew into the thunderous applause. His colleagues and fans gave him a permanent ovation, not only the run but appreciating the nature under pressure. Photographers rolled the border to return to the pavilion to catch the emotional moment of the young Indian captain-lifted with tears after a career-defense knock.
Gill has captured the captaincy of the test after Rohit Sharma’s retirement from the longest format just before the tour of England. With a young squad in his leadership, Gill’s men are on a mission to eliminate long drought – India’s last Test series in England came under Rahul Dravid in 2007. Earlier, the historic victory was recorded in 1971 under Ajit Wedkar and in 1986 under Kapil Dev.Now, under the leadership of a quiet yet expressive Gill, India is aiming to script a new chapter in its testing history – and its emotional 147 could be the first step towards that goal.
