'His entry was delayed by Shubman Gill' - Irfan Pathan dissects India captain's strategy involving Kuldeep Yadav in 1st ODI

Former all-rounder Irfan Pathan commended the tactical delay in introducing the bowler, noting that allowing the ball to weather proved beneficial under the guidance of skipper Shubman Gill.
