    AdminBy No Comments5 Mins Read0 Views


    Skipper Shubman Gill played an impressive innings as Team India beat Afghanistan by seven wickets in the first one-dayer played at Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamsala on Saturday, June 13. The elegant batter scored 84* off 66 balls and walked away with the Player of the Match honor for his innings that included 11 fours and two sixes.

    India bowled first in the match and, despite Rahmanullah Gurbaz’s hundred, did well to restrict Afghanistan to 194 in a 25 overs per side contest. Team India debutants Gurnoor Brar and Harsh Dubey starred with three scalps each in the rain-curtailed game. In the chase, Gill guided the Men in Blue home even as Ishan Kishan (34 off 22) and KL Rahul (39* off 19) chipped in with useful knocks.

    Gill has opened the batting in 57 innings in ODIs thus far. In the wake of his impactful knock against Afghanistan, we compare his stats with those of Sourav Ganguly after the latter had also opened the innings 57 times in ODIs.
