2018 Under-19 World Cup, India vs Pakistan: Things which went right for India

#4 Resilience and resurgence

Pakistan's pacer Arshad Iqbal was looted for 21 runs in his first three overs but he came back strong in his second spell and reduced India to 166/5.

Although Gill was attacking from one end, he needed someone to support him from the other.

After Iqbal rattled India, Harvik Desai and Anukul Roy proved to be able partners for their vice-captain as Gill struck 50-run partnerships with both.

Anukul and Gill got together for 67 runs and that allowed Gill to accelerate his innings and bring up his century off 93 balls as India finished on a pretty formidable score, one that looked difficult around the 35-over mark.

The left-arm spinner, who took 5/14 and 4/20 against Papua New Guinea and Zimbabwe respectively, struck some lusty blows and scored 33 off 45, which helped Gill to play freely.
