Shoaib Bashir, who dismissed India captain Shubman Gill, also has a connection with Pakistan. Shoaib Bashir is born in England, but he is also related to Pakistan -occupied Kashmir region. The roots of their parents are connected to this place. For this reason, Shoaib Bashir is a British cricketer of Pakistani origin.

Captain missed the highest score

Shubman Gill played a captaincy innings of 147 runs in 227 balls. Gill made several records after scoring a century on the first day of the match. Gill as a captain became the fifth Indian batsman to score a century in his debut match. The list also includes the names of Vijay Hazare, Sunil Gavaskar, Dilip Vengsarkar and Virat Kohli.

Shubman Gill played a brilliant innings of 147 runs, but as a captain, he missed out on making a 75 -year -old record in his first match. Indian cricket legendary player Vijay Hazare scored an unbeaten innings of 164 runs against England in 1951, this was his first match as captain. If Gill had scored 17 runs, he would have equaled this 75 -year -old record. At the same time, these 147 runs of Gill have put Team India in a strong position.

End of a magnificent knock and a fine partnership 👏👏
