It's not a spot where you can come good often but so far he's shown enough to tell you he has to be trusted with how he has been at this spot.
The numbers favour him too, so hopefully we won't mix formats. 👍KL Rahul perhaps is the only batter barring Kohli who gets me as excited when he scores runs.

India Vs Pakistan Match Sunday Match Report
On Sunday, September 10, 2023, the rain started at 4:53 pm to put the proceedings on hold, with India at 147/2 in 24.1 overs. Rohit Sharma made 56 while Gill scored 58.
The ground staff used sponges, and sawdust to dry wet patches and brought out a combination made of three fans mounted on a wheeled frame to remove moisture from the patches.
With the cut-off for the start of a 20-overs chase being 10:36 pm, another inspection was scheduled at 8:30pm.
However, it continued to rain and then the umpires decided that the 50-over game would be played on the reserve day, which also had a 90% rain prediction.
