India put up a dominating display on Day one of the first Test against West Indies on Wednesday.
Talented batsman Shubman Gill looked in jolly mood as West Indies innings was drawing to a close. As India required only one wicket to wrap up the hosts’ batting order, Shubman, standing at forward short-leg position, broke into a dance with fellow batter Virat Kohli and keeper Ishan Kishan standing close.
The 23-year-old is regarded aas one of the most talented batters in the present generation of cricketers. He has already cemented his place in the Indian team across all the three formats.
Yashasvi Jaiswal replaced Gill at the opening spot in the Indian batting order, with the latter being shifted to third position following veteran Cheteshwar Pujara’s snub.
Team India captain Rohit Sharma revealed that Gill went to Rahul Dravid himself with the no.3 request, insisting that he had played a majority of his cricketing career in that role.
