AHMEDABAD: After Shubman Gill stepped out of his crease and hit off-spinner Nathan Lyon for a six over mid-off in the last over of the day on Friday, captain Rohit Sharma walked up to him and gave him a pat on his back. In pre-T20 days, the young Gill would have probably got his ears boxed. Not in this age.
Apparently, Sharma, who never takes a backward step himself while batting, was surprised at his young colleague’s devil-may-care attitude. That too after spending almost two full days fielding under a harsh sun.
