Manjrekar said that the top order batsman of Team India Shubhman Gill should also consider doing so in these circumstances, as he is also a front-foot player. ESPNcricinfo During a conversation with Sanjay Manjrekar said that, “There was a very significant difference in the way he (Pope) played in the first innings, as opposed to the second.
He was still confident in his front foot game, but if you look at the first few balls he faced, he was on the front foot. But it was a very purposeful response and effort where he was looking for ones and twos; He was trying to score runs. This is something that Shubman Gill can incorporate into his batting as he also likes to come on the front foot.”
