Indian team's Test captain Shubman Gill has appealed to the specialist batsmen to play more responsibly ahead of the second Test match against England. The middle order of the Indian team struggled in the first Test match, and in both innings, India lost the lower-order wickets early. Gill expressed his opinion on this issue and admitted that the lower-order batsmen are not able to score runs. Gill said that he understands this problem, and instead of complaining about the problem of the tail-enders, he wants the top order to score as many runs as possible. Gill said in the press conference, This is one of the things we always talk about, especially about the depth of our batting. Our lower order sometimes does not contribute like other teams. But having said that, you can also look at the other side.

I was batting on 147, and the way I got out, maybe I could have shared another 50 runs with Rishabh Pant. Will there be any changes in the playing-11 for the second Test? He said, 'If you get a good ball and you get out, it's fine. But once you settle down and your batting order doesn't have that much depth, maybe the top order can take a little more responsibility.' Despite being in a comfortable position most of the time in the first Test match, India had to face defeat. It is believed that the Indian team may make some changes in the playing-11 for the second Test match.
Nitish is likely to get a chance
Nitish Kumar Reddy may be given a chance in place of Shardul Thakur as a fast bowling all-rounder. Shardul could not impress in batting in the first Test match, and he did not bowl much either. Nitish performed well during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia. If Nitish gets a chance, he can perform well in the lower order.
