Gill-Jaiswal’s Centuries Stages India Towards A Big Total
India is currently dominating the English side completely with Jaiswal’s century and Shubman Gill’s 6th century complementing from the other end. This displays that despite the exit of experienced players like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, India has a lot of potential left and even has the ability to perform against tier 1 cricketing nations like England.
