Ganguly said, ‘Gill’s master class innings. It is the best of all the innings I have seen at any time in England. There has been a lot of improvement in the last few months. Perhaps it was not his place to open in Test cricket. It is necessary for India to win a Test match. Due to this innings of Shubman Gill, Team India has scored 587 runs in the first innings. Shubman Gill has scored the biggest score in England as an Indian captain. Not only this, he has also broken many records during his innings.
