Team India first against England test They have faced defeat by 28 runs. Team India's batting failed completely in the second innings and the target of 231 runs could not be achieved. But in this young batsman Shubman Gill is now the target of critics as he failed in both the innings. Now there is a demand to exclude him from the second Test, but it can be called Gill's luck that even after such a performance, he is sure to get a chance in the next match.
Until the first and second days of the Hyderabad Test, hardly anyone would have thought that India would lose on the fourth day. In this match, Team India batted first and gained a lead of 190 runs. Despite this, the defeat came at the hands of Team India and the team led by Rohit Sharma had to face this bitter truth. The team's star batsmen Shreyas Iyer and Shubman Gill are on everyone's target. Especially Gill who has been failing for the past one year.
Only failure in the last 11 innings
Shubman Gill scored 23 runs in the first innings of this match, while in the second innings he got out without opening his account in just 2 balls. Gill last the year He played a brilliant innings of 128 runs against Australia in the Ahmedabad Test, but since then his bat has been quiet. Since that innings played in March 2023, Gill has scored just 173 runs in the next 11 innings at an average of 17. Not a single half-century came from his bat and the highest score was 36 runs.
In such a situation, the demand to exclude Gill from the playing eleven seems to be justified. Despite this, it is almost certain that he will play in the second Test to be held in Visakhapatnam from February 2. Although there was some possibility of Gill playing in the second match even after failing in the first test, it can be called Gill's luck that now captain Rohit and coach Rahul Dravid cannot get him out even if they want to. The biggest reason for this is KL Rahul.
Second test another chance
Rahul, batting at number four in Hyderabad, complained of thigh pain after the match, due to which he has been ruled out of the next Test. BCCI has replaced Rahul with Sarfaraz Khan, who has been called up by Team India for the first time. Apart from them, Rajat Patidar and Dhruv Jurel are also present in the team. Now it is certain that one of these three will play but the problem remains, because of which Gill is almost certain to play.
In fact, the three have not yet tasted Test cricket. They have done well in first class but international cricket is different. Now the performance of Gill and Iyer is not good and in such a situation the team management can give the debut opportunity to these three but after losing the first test, Rohit-Dravid will not want to take such a big risk. Fielding two experienced batsmen together on debut can hurt, let alone three. Gill may not be in form but he has a lot of experience and that will work in his favour. In such a situation, it is certain that he will get a chance in another test.
