Let us tell you that on the fourth day of this Test match held in Ranchi, India started playing ahead of 40 runs, and Rohit Sharma took India’s score beyond 50 by hitting a six on James Anderson. Along with this, in the 16th over, Yashasvi Jaiswal hit Shoaib Bashir for consecutive fours and quickly took India’s score to 82 runs.
However, in the 18th over of India’s second innings, Jaiswal wanted to play a shot over extra cover on a ball bowled by Root, but James Anderson caught him. So by this time both of them had given a strong start to India by adding 84 runs. After this, Rohit Sharma scored 55 runs in the 26th over and was caught by wicketkeeper Ben Fox on the ball of Tom Hartley. Young Shubman Gill comes to bat at the crease.
Also, in the next over, Rajat Patidar (0) was caught out by Shoaib Bashir at the hands of Ollie Pope. There was a lot of pressure on India at this time, but Gill and Ravindra Jadeja played about 12 overs to score the next 20 runs and took the team out of the pressure.
However, Jadeja, who was looking good at the crease, was caught out by Jonny Bairstow on the ball of Shoaib Bashir after scoring 4 runs in 33 balls. So Bashir also pushed India on the back foot by dismissing Sarfaraz Khan for a golden duck on the very next ball in the 38th over.
Gil-Jurel took charge after Bashir took two wickets in the same over.
But after two consecutive wickets fell, Gill and wicketkeeper batsman Dhruv Jurel exercised patience and continued the strike rotation. After this, both of them did not let any wicket fall and by making a partnership of 72 runs for the sixth wicket, India won the match by five wickets in the 61st over. Gill remained unbeaten on 52* and Jurel on 39*.
