Aakash Chopra discusses India’s unsuccessful attempt to overtake England in the first Test. Shubman Gill was dismissed during India’s second innings in the first Test match against England in Hyderabad, according to Aakash Chopra, who believes it was due to his lack of confidence.
On the fourth day of Sunday, January 28, the first day of the series, the visitors gave Rohit Sharma and co. a target of 231. The hosts lost the game by 28 runs after being bowled out for 202, as Gill did not open his account.

In a video that he posted on his YouTube account, Chopra discussed India’s chase. He stated, “I had stated that India wouldn’t be capable of doing this kind of chase if Rohit gets out and it got confirmed as well,” about Yashasvi Jaiswal and Gill’s dismissals.
Although it would have been fantastic if he had scored runs, you should consider the amount of responsibility you are placing on a small child. I was considering the potential that he would be out due to this poor pitch.”
Shubman Gill’s confidence is at an all-time low right now. In his past 11 innings, Shubman Gill’s average may have been less than or near to 20. The maximum is not forty, and he is having difficulty with left-arm spin. The former India opener said, “He went with hard hands and got caught out at a silly point.”
In his last eleven Test innings, Gill has amassed 173 runs at an average of 17.30. His finest performance to date came in the first innings of the India vs. South Africa Test in Cape Town when he scored 36 runs.
According to Aakash Chopra, Rohit Sharma’s ejection was the game-changing event. Chopra went on to say that Ravichandran Ashwin and Srikar Bharat, who put up a 57-run eighth-wicket partnership, lost their wickets in rather different ways.
Chopra pointed out that Mohammed Siraj, who was going for a reckless slog in the last over of the day’s play, could not be held accountable for losing his wicket. But, he believed that, given that Siraj and Jasprit Bumrah had combined 25 runs for the final wicket, things would have turned out differently had Ashwin not also thrown away his wicket.
