2nd Test: ‘Magnificent’ Shubman Gill Looked 'so Solid' On Day One, Says Butcher
Tendulkar Trophy Test: Ahead of day two’s play in the second Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy Test at Edgbaston, former England cricketer Mark Butcher said he was in awe of India skipper Shubman Gill’s unbeaten 114 on day one and went on to call it “magnificent” and “solid”.
Gill hit his seventh Test ton - and second in as many games since being appointed as India’s Test captain – as the tourists’ made 310/5 in 85 overs on day one. He and Ravindra Jadeja, who was unbeaten on 41, also shared an unbroken sixth-wicket stand of 99 and will be aiming to extend it on day two.
"Day one here was different to Headingley – not as much pace in the pitch, not as many balls flying to third man – but that didn’t make it any less exciting or exhilarating. Gill played magnificently. He came up with the answers to everything England threw at him."
