🏏Australia tour of India: 1st ODI at Mohali on 22/09/2023 D/N🏏 - Page 15

7.4 Abbott to Gaikwad, no run, edged and put down! Was a great delivery again, on a length and just outside off, had Gaikwad unsure of his footwork and he pushed at this from his crease, it just straightened enough to catch a thick outside edge and went quickly to Josh Inglis who dived to his right, he could've gone two hands but he went with one and it didn't stick

Thank god bachgaya.

Rajesh: In these three matches, Jadeja should be promoted in the batting order, so that he may find his rhythm as a finisher, which is essential for India in WC

8.1 Green to Shubman Gill, 4 runs, length delivery on middle, Gill stood tall and tucked it away past mid-wicket, the fielder gave a long chase and the batters ran four even as he attempted to pull it back and throw. After quite a look in, it's been given as four runs and not a boundary!

IND: 55-0 after 9 overs

8.4 Green to Gaikwad, FOUR, super shot! Been singing praise of Gill thus far but Gaikwad is right up there in terms of calibre, a length delivery just outside off, Gaikwad stands tall and punches this handsomely through point for four

9.5 Abbott to Gaikwad, FOUR, beautifully done! Full and outside off, a bit too much width and Gaikwad leans in to a lovely cover drive, no real flourish, all timing and placement there as it raced away to the left of cover

IND: 66-0 after 10 overs

9.6 Abbott to Gaikwad, FOUR, even better! These two have spoiled us today with their strokeplay, length delivery just outside off, Gaikwad stands tall and waits for it before punching it solidly and into the same gap again, this one went to the boundary even quicker

Matthew Short, right-arm off break, comes into the attack

Australia turn to spin early

IND: 68-0 after 11 overs

6 for GILL

Gill 53(37) 💙💙

They are taking runs at their own will.

Stroll when they want.

Hit to boundary yet run 4 runs.

10 runs in 2 balls and Gill reached 50.

Congratulations to him.
