India, however, endured a difficult start after losing two quick wickets. Gill was dismissed for just one before Virat Kohli followed him back to the pavilion for a golden duck. Jayden Seales struck twice in quick succession. Gill was caught by Shai Hope down the leg side in the third over, before Kohli was bowled through the gate by Seales on the very next delivery. Ruturaj Gaikwad then joined Rohit in the middle as India looked to rebuild after losing two quick wickets. Get the latest Sports News and Live updates. Download the TOI app.
