Team India captain Shubman Gill has reacted to the much-debated topic of Washington Sundar's delayed introduction into the bowling attack in the Manchester Test.

Stokes at least afforded England an opening before the second new ball. Jofra Archer removed Gill, caught behind after an injudicious waft, but only after joining Don Bradman in a select club who made four hundreds in a series against England and the great Australian and Sunil Gavaskar who managed four in one as captain.

Endorsed by cricketing elders like Gautam Gambhir and Ravi Shastri, Sundar is viewed as India's next genuine all‑round match‑winner.
