Captain Shubman Gill (77 runs, 84 balls, one six, 10 fours) also looked in good form while scoring his 20th fifty, while Virat Kohli scored 50 or more runs for the 134th time (74 runs, 60 balls, three sixes, four fours). But despite all these efforts, victory remained away from India as the visitors’ innings came to a halt at 360 runs for seven wickets.
