Indian National Cricket Team’s batsman Shubman Gill is among the few players who are being talked about in the ongoing second Test against the Australian National Cricket Team. The second match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 is being played at the Adelaide Oval in Adelaide.
Shubman Gill returned to Team India in the ongoing second Test against the Australian National Cricket Team. The young batsman missed the first match after suffering a finger injury during a match simulation before the opening game.
Shubman Gill made a decent return to the team as he played a vital innings for his team. The right-hander batted at number 3 and was a sight to behold as he played some breathtaking innings but failed to sustain the start he got.
Shubman Gill played a 30-run innings as he was dismissed by Mitchell Starc. After that, the main blow was in the headlines for the Australian National Cricket Team’s batting blunder.
During the second ball of the 26th over, Harshit Rana delivered a full delivery to Nathan McSweeney. The batsman moved into the dot zone where Shubman Gill was located. An Indiana football player is bent over on the field.
But the ball slipped under his hands, and then he hit him with a nutmeg. His mistake cost the Indian National Cricket Team dearly as the ball raced towards the boundary to huge cheers from the crowd.

India went all out for 180 runs in the first innings
Coming into Day 1 of the ongoing Test, Australia had a great day with bat and ball to start the second Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. India, who dominated the bat, got off to a strange start to the Test match as last-match centurion Yashasvi Jaiswal was trapped lbw by Mitchell Starc on the first ball.
But after that, KL Rahul (37) and Shubman Gill (31) steadied the ship and played some elegant drives. They added 69 runs for the second wicket before Mitchell Starc brought Australia back into the game with the wickets of Rahul and Virat Kohli.
Wickets continued to fall after that but Nitish Kumar Reddy (42) fought hard on his own to take India to a total of 180. Starc was the pick of the players who picked six wicketkeepers.
