Pragyan Ojha has lauded Shubman Gill for overcoming immense pressure and scoring a century in India’s second innings of the second Test against England.
Gill scored 104 runs off 147 deliveries in India’s second-innings total of 255 on Day 3 in Visakhapatnam on Sunday, February 4. England ended the day at 67/1 in pursuit of a 399-run target.
During a discussion on Colors Cineplex, Ojha praised Gill for rising to the occasion while playing for his place in the XI and when the hosts were in a spot of bother. He elaborated:
The former India spinner noted that the stylish batter scored runs all around the park.
Ojha added that Gill proved the naysayers who were questioning his decision to bat at No. 3 wrong. He stated:
Gill requested the team management for the No. 3 position at the start of India’s tour of the West Indies. Before his hundred on Sunday, the right-hander hadn’t even scored a fifty in his previous 11 innings at the position.
Owais Shah opined that Shubman Gill‘s mild celebration after reaching his hundred reflected his determination. He said:
The former England batter added that Gill wants to silence everyone by proving that No. 3 is his position and that he can only do that by scoring runs.
