Gill will score lots of runs in away series if he maintains his fantastic feet movement: Ganguly

Mighty impressed with Shubman Gill’s footwork in difficult English conditions, former India skipper Sourav Ganguly is expecting the young skipper to score truckloads of runs in away conditions if his feet movement remains as impeccable as it was on the opening day of the Test-series opener at Leeds.

Playing his first Test as skipper, Gill conjured up a sublime unbeaten 127 that was packed with glorious drives. India ended the day at a solid 359 for three, making the English attack look pedestrian.

The home bowlers largely bowled full on the ‘middle and off’ line and Gill negotiated the challenge with remarkable ease, transferring his weight on the shots for some sublime drives in the ‘V’ region. PTI
