Rishabh Pant warns Shubman Gill against England's problem during Ind vs Eng 1st Test; Here's what India wicketkeeper said | Mint
Rishabh Pant was caught on the Stump Mic, warns Shubman Gill against the English ploy of reverse swing on the opening day of the first Test Friday at Headingly in Leeds. On a day dominated by the Indians, the warning of pant came by the end of the day during the 60th of the innings, bowled by English spinner Shoaib Bashir. ‘Gilly, ball bans gaya hai. Banaya Hai Inhone Abhi … (Gilly, the ball is made, they made it now), ‘Pant heard that he told his captain. Pant’s comment ‘Ball Ban Gaya’ refers to the process of turning the ball enough to swing the red cherry. It is expected that English captain Ben Stokes has come to the next ear in an attempt to let the ball talk. Earlier, Pant had a playful chatter with Stokes after the Indian danced on the track on just his second ball to hit the English captain for a border. Yashasvi Jaiswal steals the show in Leeds earlier, the day belonged to Indian opener Yashasvi Jaiswal, who marked his first test in England with an excellent century. Jaiswal, first stitched a 91 run with Kl Rahul for the first wicket in front of a 129 run for the third wicket with Captain Shubman Gill. Jaiswal was eventually fired for 101, bowled by Stokes, of 159 balls, which included 16 strokes on the border and a lonely six. The left hand seems to have gained several cramps before being up to 99 with two excellent boundaries from Breydon Carsse. A fast -paced single took a raised Jais wall to a 144 -ball hundred – his fifth century in 20 Tests and third against England. Jaiswal had his previous centuries against England in 2024 in double hundreds. Before playing both teams, officials saw a minute of silence in memory of the victims of an aircraft accident in Air India in Ahmedabad who killed all but one of 242 people on board, with players carrying black bracelets as a sign of respect.
