India were 258/4 at stumps on day one, with Iyer (75*) and Jadeja (50*) unbeaten at the crease. Shubman also managed to score 52, but he was dismissed on the pitch by Jamieson on a ball and it fell on his stumps.
“I think Jamieson bowled really well today, especially with the new ball for the first time. He bowled me and Mayank Agarwal in very good areas. When I came to bat after lunch, He was over the top, the entire spell he bowled, he looked over the top,” Gill said while answering ANI’s question during a virtual press conference.
Asked if the team management has asked him to bat in the middle order, Gill said, “I have opened for my state team and India A. I have batted in the middle order as well. When you open an opener.” Tweaking if you play as a batsman or you play as a middle-order batsman. It’s more on the mental side of things rather than technique.”
Talking about his own dismissal, Gill said: “It’s all about reading the conditions, especially after batting after lunch, the ball started reversing. You have to read the conditions, I’m going to hit that ball. Wasn’t able to read the one who got me out. Because I didn’t expect the ball to reverse so quickly.”
talking about Shreyas IyerOf Knock, the right-handed batsman said: “The way Iyer batted on his Test debut, we lost three wickets in the second session. Jadeja and Iyer have put together a good partnership, hopefully, it continues tomorrow. Will stay.”
