Honor given to Captain Gill
37-year-old Indian legend Virat Kohli has 18 years of experience in international cricket. Whereas, Shubman Gill started his international career in 2019. Virat is much senior than Gill and his experience is also double his. But Shubman Gill is the captain of the team these days and due to this, Virat waited on the field and accepted him.
Performance of both in the first ODI
Talking about the performance of these two players in the first ODI match against England, in this match Captain Gill batted brilliantly and scored 80 runs in 75 balls. After this, he retired due to injury. At the same time, Virat Kohli, who was returning from injury, proved to be a flop in this match. He was out LBW on the ball of Joffra Archer after scoring 5 runs in 6 balls.
