IND vs ENG 2nd ODI, Shubman Gill: Indian captain Shubman Gill retired hurt and returned to the pavilion even before getting out in the first ODI played against England on Tuesday (July 14). Gill had cramps. He tried to play with the cramp for some time, but after the pain became too much, he returned to the pavilion.
He had played an inning of 80 runs in 75 balls with the help of 11 fours and 1 six. He did not come on the field to bat again. Now the question is arising whether injured Gill will play in the next i.e. second ODI? The second match of the series will be played on 16 July (Thursday). If Gill is not available for the match, then who will captain in his place? Before this, Rohit Sharma was the ODI captain of India. Will Hitman be given command once again in Gill’s absence? Who will be included in the playing 11 in place of Gill? Let us know the answers to all the questions.
Will Shubman Gill not play the second ODI?
BCCI has not issued any official statement regarding Gill’s injury. Therefore, it seems quite possible for Gill to play. Now it will be interesting to see whether Gill is able to play the second ODI or not.
If Gill does not play, who will be India’s ODI captain?
Shreyas Iyer has been made the vice-captain in the England ODI series. If Gill is unable to play the second ODI due to injury, then Shreyas Iyer will be seen commanding the team in his place. Earlier, Shreyas Iyer had captained India in the 5-match T20 series played. Ishan Kishan may return to the playing 11 in place of Gill. Now it will be interesting to see whether Iyer gets a chance to become the ODI captain or not.
India’s probable playing 11 for the second ODI
Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill/Ishan Kishan, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Washington Sundar, KL Rahul (wicketkeeper), Axar Patel, Shivam Dubey, Gurnoor Brar, Jasprit Bumrah, Prasidh Krishna.
