NEW DELHI: Star Indian batsman Shubman Gill on Sunday expressed confidence that the home team maintains its status as the favorite to win the second Test, especially after his century set England a challenging target of 399 on Day 3.
Despite England leading the five-match series 1-0, they concluded the day at 67-1, with opener Ben Duckett dismissed for 28 in Visakhapatnam. The left-handed Duckett, along with fellow opener Zak Crawley (29*), formed an aggressive 50-run partnership before Ravichandran Ashwin claimed his wicket, marking his 497th Test scalp.
