Irfan Pathan recently voiced his support for struggling Indian cricketers Shubman Gill and Shreyas Iyer, attributing their recent poor form to the absence of senior player Virat Kohli and the injury to KL Rahul. Despite their recent struggles, Pathan highlighted their past performances and suggested that the team management has a challenging decision to make regarding their inclusion in the squad.

In response, India posted a total of 396 runs in their first innings, with Jaiswal’s stellar performance standing out.
