Third Indian captain to do so

Shubman Gill, who scored a century in 2 consecutive Tests against England as captain, has become the third captain of India. Earlier, Vijay Hazare Nape (at Delhi and Brabourne Stadium in 1951–1952) and Mohammad Azharuddin (in 1990 in Lodors and Treffer) did this.

Rishabh disappointed, Nitish Kumar Reddy was poorly out

After Yashasvi was dismissed, Rishabh Pant lost his wicket at an important time, he went to play a big shot off Shoaib Bashir’s ball and got caught. After this, Nitish Kumar Reddy was badly bold. He left the ball of Chris Woakes, he felt that the ball would go to the wicket keeper but his judgment turned out to be bad. The ball went straight stumps and Nitish was bowled after scoring 1 run. This was the fifth wicket of the Indian innings on the score of 211.
