Only the second innings of the first match stood out, where the top four scored more than 300 runs together. In the first innings of the same test match, India lost the first four wickets in just 50 runs. The second test match was no different, as the team lost the first four wickets in around 80 runs in both innings.

Are Shubman Gill & Virat Kohli a Weak Link?
Shubman Gill has scored only 93 runs in the five innings of the three test matches in this series, with the highest score being 31 runs. Whereas in the nine innings of the 5 test matches, Virat Kohli had scored 190 runs with an average of 23.55. What was more concerning with Kohli was that his dismissal method was mostly the same in all the innings. His previous weakness was bowling outside the off stump.
