The pair of Rishabh Pant and Shubman Gill performed brilliantly in the first Test in Leeds. Both scored history by scoring a century on captaincy and vice -captaincy debut.
Rishabh Pant and Shubman Gill’s pair of England sweat
Rajiv’s report from Leeds. When there is not much distance of age and you have got the rights, then it is common to see the conflict of the important often. Especially on you have little experience, but this is probably not applied to the 25 -year -old captain and 27 -year -old vice -captain of India. There is amazing synergy between the two and in every decision, backing each other and walking shoulder to shoulder is making their pair a hit. Talking about Rishabh Pant and Shubman Gill.
Rab has made di pair
When the over is over and there is time for advertising on the TV screen, it is our time to see and understand and then analyze the activities going on the field. In the middle of the over in the leads and what was seen during the drinks interwells, it was away from your reach but very close to my eyes. The biggest thing that was felt at the inauguration of the new era of Indian cricket was the captain and the vice -captain to be on a page, whether it is a matter of batting order or the ups and downs in every session in the match. Before the match, the way Pant backed Gill for number 4 and he did wonders at 5.
Then when it comes to fielding, both of them remained the support of each other even under adverse circumstances. When the runs were scored, they kept increasing the enthusiasm of the bowlers and did not let anyone bow their shoulders. There was nothing for the spinners on the pitch, yet he kept on realizing Ravindra Jadeja that the most senior bowler of the team is there. In the viral video too, the captain and vice -captain are talking here that what field should Jadeja be given to Jadeja. Together, both of them also used DRS very sensibly.
Pant-Gill became Lord of Leeds
Both Pant and Gill created a new record with a century. This is the first time in Test cricket, when both captain and vice -captain players have scored a century on their captaincy and vice -captains. Indian captain Shubman Gill and vice -captain Rishabh Pant have scored a brilliant century in the first Test against England. With this century, the pair of Pant-Gill did that feat, which never happened in the history of 148 years.
Captain Gill scored 147 runs in 227 balls. Gill hit 19 fours and a six during this innings. This test of Gill was the sixth century of career. At the same time, this was his first century as captain, while Vice -captain Pant scored 134 runs in 178 balls. During this innings, Pant hit 12 fours and 6 sixes. Pant’s Test was the seventh century of career.
