Gill symphony enthralls thousands in Ahmedabad
New Indian ExpressAHMEDABAD: By all accounts, the Coldplay concert at the Narendra Modi Stadium in the last week of January was box office. With the British band playing some of their greatest hits -- Fix You, Yellow and Viva la Vida -- the more than one lakh who had turned up from all India went back with a smile plastered on their faces. On Wednesday, some three weeks after Chris Martin had got the stadium grooving, it was the turn of Shubman Gill to produce a boundary-hitting masterclass in front of fans who are used to seeing the opener bat like this on a regular basis. When Gill walked out with Rohit Sharma 30 minutes after Jos Buttler had called correctly -- the England captain was conscious of the dew in these parts at this time of the year -- the swing on offer was plenty.
