After the interruption of the rain, when the game started again, the Indian batsmen looked very controlled. Shubman Gill played the cover drive off the Overton’s ball.
On the second ball of the 28th over of the match which Atkinson was throwing, Shubman Gill did the frontfoot defense and went ahead of the crease to get a single when Atkinson swooped the ball like a leopard and targeted the wicket of the Striker & Wicket. The wicket was lying on the ground and Shubman was looking towards the sky because he realized that a big mistake was made from him. Rishabh Pant has also made a similar mistake in Lord’s when he was runout on the throw of Pant Stokes scoring 74 runs and from there England came back to the match and then managed to win the Test match. That is, the omission of the runout has swallowed the captain and vice -captain on both the grounds of London. The biggest reason for the defeat in the battle of Lord’s was the runout and the runout at the Oval has started scaring.
Seeing the childish manner in which Gill was runout, Australian veteran Ricky Ponting called it a disaster for India. Ponting said during the commentary, ‘Well, this is a disaster for India. There was no run there. Atkinson was conscious of it, scoring fast, he has the time of the world to handle himself and play a bang innings. As a batsman on such a wicket, you do not need less than this. Gill returned after scoring 21 runs. Everything was not disappointing for Gill on Thursday. He broke Sunil Gavaskar’s record of scoring the most runs by an Indian captain in a bilateral series. Gill has now scored 743* in this series, leaving behind Gavaskar’s 732 -run record against West Indies in 1978/79. Another record of Gavaskar is on the target of Gill. It is expected that Gill will also break the record in the second innings and end the series on better notes.
