“Shubman Gill did observe the ball and had a start from the non-striker’s end before responding with ‘no’ when the drive was played. It is possible that Gill was considering the speed at which Jaiswal made the shot. “The striker made the call, and he should have backed it up because he had gone a little farther after seeing the ball, and Jaiswal had already gone a long way,” Bangar said in a JioHotstar conversation.
In the red-ball format, Jaiswal was unable to reach his third double-ton due to his run-out. The Bhadohi native had already reached two in February 2024, both of which occurred during the England home series. Jaiswal’s 175-run knock, which ended on Saturday, surpassed the 171 he scored in his Test debut against the West Indies in 2023 and became his third-highest total in red-ball internationals to date.
Following Tevin Imlach’s run-out, Jaiswal gave Gill a serious look before slamming his own forehead.
Almost without hesitation, he attempted to say that it was his call and that Gill should have chosen to run.
The final score for India was 518/5 in 134.2 overs. Gill was undefeated till the very end, scoring 129 off 196. When Dhruv Jurel was dismissed (44 off 79), he decided to declare the innings. Gill was the hosts’ second-highest run scorer, after Jaiswal.
In 34 overs, Jomel Warrican took three wickets (3/98). One wicket was taken by opposition captain Roston Chase. When none of the other bowlers could score, the visiting team’s exhausting and protracted time on the pitch came to an end.
