"Shubman Gill Has Got Cushion That Even Cheteshwar Pujara Didn't": Anil Kumble Minces No Words
Former India captain Anil Kumble feels that the embattled Shubman Gill has been given the kind of "cushion" that veteran Cheteshwar Pujara never got and the young batter needs to make it count in the second Test against England or risk being under tremendous pressure.
