As you mentioned, we’ve not been in a position to cross 250 within the final 5 Tests.”This Test also we were in a solid position but we lost couple of early wickets today. But hopefully if we get some time, in next innings, we will cross 250,” he replied.Gill praised Kyle Jamieson for his five-wicket haul but in addition felt that Indian pacers didn”t have the rub of the inexperienced going their manner regardless of bowling effectively through the ultimate two periods.”He (Jamieson) was bowling well during the first spell but he didn’t get many wickets. But he got his reward today and I feel our bowlers also bowled well. However luck didn’t favour us and there were a couple of half chances which didnt go our way. Hopefully, tomorrow is a new day and it will bring us some luck,” mentioned Shubman Gill.Click right here for IndiaToday.in’s full protection of the coronavirus pandemic.
