Gill Retires Hurt After 100-Run Stand with Iyer
Shubman Gill retired hurt with cramps while batting at 80 off 75 during India’s chase of 259 in the first ODI against England at Edgbaston, with Washington Sundar coming in as his replacement. He had been part of a crucial 100-run partnership with Shreyas Iyer that helped India seize the initiative in the chase before his departure. England had posted 258 after a late rescue by Joe Root and Liam Dawson, who shared a 121-run stand for the seventh wicket as India fought back in the bowling innings. India’s bowlers, led by Axar Patel’s four-wicket haul, contained the hosts, while Gill’s injury left the team briefly short-handed at a pivotal moment. Subsequent reports noted that there was no immediate official update on Gill’s condition, and his retirement left India hoping the cramp was minor ahead of the rest of the series.
