India skipper Shubman Gill and veteran all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja were caught on the stump mic sharing a hilarious exchange after completing a quick single on Day 1 (Wednesday, July 2) of the second Test in the five-match series against England.

The amusing moment unfolded during the final session of Day 1 when Gill played Shoaib Bashir softly towards mid-wicket, and the pair quickly stole a single with perfect understanding.

Reacting to the sharp running, Jadeja quipped:

“Aankho hi aankho mein.” [All through eye contact].

To which Gill laughed and replied:

“Haha, Aapke sath mein hu.” [I’m with you].

Meanwhile, sent into bat, Yashasvi Jaiswal played a brilliant innings for the visitors, scoring 87 off 107 balls with 13 boundaries. Karun Nair (31) and Rishabh Pant (25) failed to convert their starts into big scores, while skipper Shubman Gill brought up his seventh Test hundred.

At stumps on Day 1, India stood at 310/5 after 85 overs, with Gill unbeaten on 114 and Ravindra Jadeja solid on 41. For England, Chris Woakes claimed two wickets, while Brydon Carse, Ben Stokes, and Shoaib Bashir picked up one apiece.
