India captain Shubman Gill gave the team a major injury scare during the first ODI against England at Edgbaston in Birmingham after leaving the field while batting.

Gill, who opened the innings with Rohit Sharma during India's 259-run chase, looked in excellent touch and scored 80 runs off 75 balls. He also built a crucial 100-run partnership with Shreyas Iyer before facing discomfort in his right leg.

The Indian skipper was seen removing his gloves and sitting on his haunches before holding the back of his right leg. After receiving attention, Gill walked back to the dressing room, with Washington Sundar coming out to join Iyer in the chase.

Will Shubman Gill be able to bat again? Here's what the rule says

Shubman Gill is expected to bat again if India need him during the ongoing match, as his injury does not appear to be a serious one at this stage. The issue is believed to be related to severe cramps or a minor muscle spasm rather than a major muscle tear.

Gill was marked as retired hurt after leaving the field during India's chase. As per ICC playing conditions, a batter who leaves the field because of an injury, illness, or any other unavoidable reason is recorded as retired hurt.

A retired hurt batter is allowed to return to the crease later in the innings, but only after a wicket falls or another batter retires. The team's innings must still be in progress, meaning the batter cannot come back if all other batters have already been dismissed.

Rohit and Virat fail to make an impact

India's top order did not get the expected boost from the return of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. Both experienced batters were playing together after almost six months but failed to make a big impact in Birmingham.

Rohit scored only 11 runs, while Kohli managed five runs before getting dismissed. India had started the chase positively, with Rohit and Gill adding 43 runs for the opening wicket.

However, England all-rounder Sam Curran provided the breakthrough in the eighth over. Rohit stepped out to attack Curran but mistimed his shot, sending the ball high towards mid-off, where Harry Brook completed the catch.

Virat Kohli then walked in with expectations high among fans.The Indian batter was expected to support Gill and guide the chase, but his stay at the crease was brief.

Kohli falls to Archer's clever bowling

Kohli faced Jofra Archer in the next over and initially looked confident. Archer had bowled a short delivery earlier, which Kohli pulled away for a boundary towards fine leg.

The England pacer quickly changed his plan and followed it up with a fuller delivery. Kohli attempted a flick but missed the ball completely, which struck his pads. After a strong appeal from England, the umpire raised his finger.

Kohli discussed the review with Gill but decided against challenging the decision. He was eventually dismissed leg before wicket for five runs off six balls.

India under pressure after T20I setbacks

India entered the ODI series under pressure after losing six consecutive T20I matches.The team is looking to bounce back and make a strong statement in the 50-over format.

India's bowlers delivered an impressive performance earlier in the match, reducing England to 107/6. However, Joe Root's unbeaten 76 and Liam Dawson's 68 helped England recover and post a competitive total.

Axar Patel was the pick of the bowlers, claiming four wickets as England were restricted to 258 runs.
