Pant's Run-Out a Turning Point in Lord's Defeat, Says Gill

Shubman Gill identified Rishabh Pant's run-out in the first innings as a pivotal moment in India's loss at Lord's. Gill believes Pant's dismissal, after a promising start, significantly hampered India's chances of building a substantial first-innings lead.

He argued that a larger lead would have put England under greater pressure on a challenging Day 5 pitch. Pant's run-out, according to Gill, shifted the momentum of the match and ultimately contributed to India's defeat.

This highlights Pant's importance as a top-order batsman capable of scoring quickly and building crucial partnerships, a role he replicates for his IPL franchise.
