Fans lauded Gill’s mindset and approach while batting for his 21 runs and showered him with praise. Indian batters’ struggles against spin bowling were highlighted once again in Indore, when Nathan Lyon and Matthew Kuhnemann decimated the Indian batting order.
India were left reeling at 45 for 5, with Ravindra Jadeja and Cheteshwar Pujara both scoring in the single digits, and Shreyas Iyer failing to open his account. The incredible spin on offer at the Holkar stadium on Day 1 morning suggests that this Test match may not even last three days.
The onus is now on Virat Kohli to get the team out of this jam and score some runs to put the pressure back on the visitors.
