Match gill

Vidarbha Cricket Association: As India slumped to 19/2 in the sixth over chasing a modest target of 249 in 50 overs, all Shubman Gill was thinking of was to stay positive and not to take too many risks and not get too defensive.

Player of the Match Gill did all these things, top-scored for India with 87 and shared crucial partnerships with Shreyas Iyer (59) and Axar Patel (52) to help India to a four-wicket win over England in the first ODI of the three-match series at the Vidarbha Cricket Association (VCA) Stadium here on Thursday.
