Indian cricket team great Sunil Gavaskar has lashed out at young batter Shubman Gill for throwing away his wicket on Day 2 of the 1st Test against England in Hyderabad. Gill, who resumed from his overnight score of 14, got him caught at mid-wicket on 23 after a rash shot against the turning cherry. He played 66 deliveries and hit just two boundaries, while also struggling to rotate strike. Gavaskar fumed at Gill for his shot-selection, saying that there was no need for him to do that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gavaskar made the comments while commentating on Day 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“What kind of a shot was he looking to play? One can understand if he was looking to play it in the air but it was just a badly executed on-drive. He did all the hard work and then played a shot like that,” Gavaskar was heard as saying on commentary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
KL Rahul hit 86 and Ravindra Jadeja closed in on a half-century Friday to push India’s lead to 63 runs at Tea on Day 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The hosts were 305\/9 with Jadeja on 45 and wicketkeeper-batsman K.S. Bharat on nine at tea in Hyderabad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rahul’s anchoring 86 ended with a big heave on a long-hop from Test debutant Tom Hartley that landed in the palms of Rehan Ahmed at deep mid-wicket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was Hartley’s second strike of the day after Shubman Gill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rahul’s exit ended a 65-run stand with the left-handed Jadeja, who stood firm and kept up the attack to entertain a crowd of more than 25,000 fans taking advantage of the Republic Day national holiday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
England struck in the third over after lunch when Shreyas Iyer holed out to deep mid-wicket for 35 off leg-spinner Ahmed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
India lost overnight batting duo Yashasvi Jaiswal and Gill inside the first hour of play after resuming on 119-1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Left-hander Jaiswal added four to his overnight 76 with a boundary on the second ball but was dismissed after lobbing the fourth ball of the day back to spinner Joe Root, who jumped high to take the catch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On Day 1, England played their attacking “Bazball” brand of cricket electing to bat at the start of the five-match series and managed 246 courtesy of skipper Ben Stokes’ 70.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
