NEW DELHI: The troubled Shubman Gill, according to former India captain Anil Kumble, has been given the kind of "cushion" that veteran Cheteshwar Pujara never received. The young batter must perform well in the second Test against England or else he would be under a lot of pressure.
In his last 11 Test innings, 24-year-old Gill has not scored a half-century. In March last year, he made a century-plus score in India's first innings against visiting Australia in Ahmedabad, but since then, his best score has been 36.
