The second match of the ongoing ODI series between India and England will be played on July 16. According to reports, captain Shubman Gill is fully fit and will be seen playing in the second match.
Will Shubman Gill be able to play the next match?
The Indian team has made a brilliant start to the ODI series against England. Despite consecutive losses in the T20 series, they have managed to secure a win in the ODI format. Meanwhile, there were some concerns regarding ODI captain Shubman Gill.
He had to leave the first match of the series midway. However, according to the latest information, Gill is fit and ready for the next match.
Captain Gill left the match midway—
Under Shubman Gill's captaincy, Team India won the first ODI against England by 6 wickets. Gill appeared somewhat uncomfortable during Team India's innings. He began experiencing discomfort shortly after completing his half-century. The physio came to his aid, but as the issue worsened, he had to leave the field. He walked off just as he was heading towards a century.
Gill played a magnificent innings of 80 runs off 75 balls—
In the first match played in Birmingham, opener Gill scored 80 runs off 75 balls, featuring 11 fours and a six. After the dismissals of Rohit Sharma (11) and Virat Kohli (5), there were fears that Team India might find itself in trouble—much like in the T20 series—but Gill played a captain's knock and steered the team close to victory. Had he continued playing, he might well have completed another century.
The second ODI between India and England will be played on July 16—
It has now been revealed that Gill has fully recovered from his injury and is ready to play the second ODI. The second match of the series is scheduled for Thursday, July 16, in Cardiff; there is very little time left before it begins. Team India will aim to win the second match and clinch the series. However, it must be noted that the England team is capable of making a comeback.
