Shubman Gill would be elated after smashing a half-century against Bangladesh. Shubman Gill played a feisty knock of 53 runs in 55 balls and struck 5 fours and 2 sixes in his comeback knock. Shubman Gill stitched an 88-run opening partnership with skipper Rohit Sharma in 12.4 overs as the duo tormented Bangladesh’s bowling lineup.
India’s star batter Virat Kohli continued his purple patch by smashing a ton in 97 balls. Virat Kohli scored 103 runs and struck 6 fours and 4 sixes as the batter looked in complete touch during his knock and now has 48 ODI tons to his name.

We have won all the four matches while chasing- Shubman Gill
Shubman Gill was seen attending the post-match press conference and stated that he was quite happy to be back on the ground after missing the initial matches due to an injury. Shubman Gill pointed out that the side is quite happy to win all 4 matches while chasing which keeps them in good stead ahead of the big matches in the championship.
“I don’t know if he intentionally tried to bowl wide or he was just trying to keep it tight and then went away, Obviously felt nice. When I was a little sick, I was feeling a bit disappointed on missing out on those opportunities, but definitely felt nice to get some game time,” said Shubman Gill.
“I mean, you can see how confident they are, the way they are scoring runs. Definitely, I think this is one of the things which was talked about, especially leading up to the World Cup, that we were not chasing that well, those big totals. But I think, having won all the four matches while chasing, I think it’s a great way to have that momentum with us in those big games that we’ll have moving forward,” he stated.
“To see them how they go about their business in World Cup and in big games is what I always try to learn from them. I think there’s a fine line between sometimes being too aggressive or going in the shell, especially playing big games. But I think the way they play, the way their mindset is playing those big games in the World Cup is what I try to learn from them,” he added.
