"Can't Apply A Cricket Reason": Sanjay Manjrekar Comments On Shubman Gill's Strange 'Weakness'
Shubman Gill poses a very odd statistic. From 2020 onwards, Gill's average is the highest among any Indian Test batter when you take scores from only the second innings. However, his career Test average is merely 35, meaning that he tends to underperform in the first innings. It proved to be the same again in the first Test between India and Bangladesh, as Gill recovered from a duck in the first innings to a fine 119 in the second. Former India cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar expressed his bewilderment at this repeated occurrence.
First Time Since 1932: India Create History With Victory Against Bangladesh In Chennai
The Indian cricket team ended its 92-year-long wait as it defeated Bangladesh in the first Test of the 2-match series in Chennai. The 280-run victory for India at Chepauk resulted in the team getting their number of wins tally above their tally of the number of losses incurred in the longest format of the game for the first time in history. India played their first-ever Test in 1932, under the leadership of CK Naidu, but incurred a 158-run defeat. Since that match, India had never managed to get their number of wins higher than the number of losses.

South Africa Secure Consolation Victory Over Afghanistan In 3rd ODI
Aiden Markram's calm innings helped South Africa avoid suffering a series clean sweep by Afghanistan with a seven-wicket victory in the third one-day international in Sharjah on Sunday. The Proteas cruised to their target of 170 thanks to an unbeaten 69 from Markram, having briefly wobbled at 80-3. Afghanistan had already wrapped up a historic series triumph after winning the first two matches but struggled with the bat after winning the toss. Only the in-form Rahmanullah Gurbaz put up any real fight with an excellent, 94-ball 89, but when he fell Afghanistan were 132-7. Key batters Rahmat Shah, Hashmatullah Shahidi and Ikram Alikhil were all run out in a haphazard display.
