India opener Shubman Gill, who played his first red-ball match since getting injured before the England series earlier this year, shared his thoughts on shifting his role from being an opener to a middle-order batter. "I have opened for my state team and India A. I have batted in the middle-order as well. There is a little bit of tweaking when you play as an opener or you play as a middle-order batter. When I came to bat after lunch, that over was top-notch, the whole spell he bowled, he looked top-notch," said Gill. Meanwhile, Shreyas Iyer, who made his Test debut, rose to the occasion and scored 75 off 136 balls before the close of play.
