Shubman Gill’s leadership of the ‘brat pack’ in Dharamsala answers India’s post-Kohli and Sharma concerns

Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill Shine, but Late Collapse Adds Drama to India vs. England Test

In an enthralling turn of events, Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill’s magnificent centuries propelled India into a commanding position in the fifth Test against England. However, the excitement continued with a late batting collapse that saw India concluding day two at 473 for eight.

The day commenced with India at 135 for one, and skipper Rohit Sharma, along with Gill, orchestrated a breathtaking display of stroke play, forming a formidable partnership of 171 runs for the second wicket. Their resilience and shot-making prowess set a dominating tone.

Despite a late challenge, debutant Devdutt Padikkal showcased class with a debut innings of 65 off 103, while Sarfaraz Khan contributed a quick 56 off 60. India, appearing poised to bat England out of the game at 376 for three during tea, faced a stern test from England’s bowlers in the final session.

Off-spinner Shoaib Bashir, recovering from a tough start, made a strong comeback with figures of 4/170, and left-arm spinner Tom Hartley impressed with 2/126. Mark Wood, although the most expensive, played a crucial role in England’s late resurgence.
