Former India batting coach Sanjay Bangar revealed how young India batter Shubman Gill left Ravi Shastri stunned in his first-ever nets session for India back in 2019.

India went into the match without the talismanic Virat Kohli, who was unavailable because of a sore right knee, and at that juncture losing Yashasvi Jaiswal (15) and Rohit Sharma (2) cheaply was a recipe for disaster. But Gill batted sensibly and with Iyer playing a counter-attacking innings, helped India to safety.

Shubman Gill mentioned that Virat Kohli experienced slight knee swelling in the morning, but he was fine during practice the night prior to the match.

India rode on Shubman Gill's 87, Shreyas Iyer's 59 and 52 from Axar Patel to win the first game by four wickets. Chasing England's 248, India romped home in 38.4 overs.

Shubman Gill, Shreyas Iyer and Axar Patel smashed half-centuries as India defeated England by four wickets in the opening one-day international on Thursday and took a 1-0 lead in the three-match series that is a warmup for the Champions Trophy.

Shubman Gill secured a record during the ODI series opener against England in Nagpur. He made score of 87 off96 balls, which helped India comfortably chase their target.
