IND vs Eng 3rd Test: Lord’s Link Virat Kohli and Shubman Gill in the most unexpected way. Cricket news
There is a way to add moments over time in cricket. At Lord’s on Friday, Shubman Gill was dismissed for 16, which was caught by the wicketkeeper. A soft edge from Chris Woakes made a trick. It was a clever setup from England, knowing that Gill bats outside his crease. That moment felt simple – until someone examined the archives. Exactly 13 years ago, on 11 September 2011, a young Virat Kohli played his first ODI at Lord’s. He also scored 16 runs, and was also dismissed by the keeper. Equality is supernatural. Both knocks came on the 11th of the month. Both ended at 16. Both batsmen, in different stages in their career, went to the applause of the same God. Kohli was just starting in England. Gill, who is the first for the first time a test at the venue, arrived in red-hot form.

In the morning, his magic broke England’s innings back as he was excluded for 387. Joe Root scored her eighth Test hundred at Lord’s, while Jamie Smith and Bridan Cars added useful runs under the order. In response, India finished day 2 for 3 at 3, unbeaten on 58 with KL Rahul. Gill’s dismissal was standing outside, not only because it was well employed, but because it echoed a strange acquaintance past.
