Champions Trophy: What Was Good To See Was That Gill Stayed There Till The End, Says Rohit Sharma
Dubai International Stadium: After India began their 2025 Champions Trophy campaign with a six-wicket win over Bangladesh, skipper Rohit Sharma said it was good to see vice-captain Shubman Gill, who hit an unbeaten 101, stay till the end in the chase of 229 at the Dubai International Stadium. Gill took his time before grinding it hard on a sluggish pitch and amidst the pressure of wickets falling around to hit an unbeaten 101 off 129 balls, laced with nine fours and two sixes.
Though Gill hit his slowest ODI hundred, it was worth its weight in gold for India to go into the clash against Pakistan at the same venue on Sunday with more confidence, after being tested thoroughly by Bangladesh’s bowlers.
Gill got good support from Rohit, who made a quick 41, and later from K.L. Rahul, who fought through a tricky period to hit a very calm and composed 41 off 47 balls, thus showing why he’s preferred ahead of Rishabh Pant for the wicketkeeper-batter slot, as India finished off the chase with 21 balls to spare.
