During Day 1 of the India vs England Test at Headingly, Leeds, there was a brotherly moment between the Indian skipper Shubman Gill and the opener Yashasvi Jaiswal, where Gill fed banana to Jaiswal with his hands while Jaiswal was being treated.

The moment occurred When Bashir entered to bowl the 48th over. Jaiswal was in discomfort and did not appear prepared to play the third ball of the over. He was twisting his hands and appeared to be suffering from pain. He removed his gloves and signaled for the physio. He also shed his arm guard, and play was halted for a brief period. The physio entered carrying an ice pack and began working on both of Jaiswal's arms. One arm was massaged, and the other had the ice pack on it.

During this break, a sweet and heartwarming moment occurred on the field. Captain Shubman Gill, who was batting at the opposite end, peeled off a banana and took a bite. Jaiswal, who's both the hands were being treated, requested Gill to feed him the banana. With no hesitation, Gill offered the banana to Jaiswal, there in the middle of the ground. This act was enjoyed by the fans and commentators alike and reflected the close friendship between the two.

After the brief interval, Jaiswal came back to bat and had a great innings. He scored a good century, 101 runs off 159 balls, before being castled by Ben Stokes with an elegant ball. Shubman Gill also proved his class and went on scoring freely.

By the close of Day 1, Gill remained unbeaten at 127 runs. Rishabh Pant, who replaced Jaiswal, also played a gritty knock. He stood tall and supported Gill and ended the day at 65 not out. The duo contributed 138 runs for the fourth wicket. As Day 2 starts, India will wish that both batters continue their good run, and Pant will seek his seventh Test century.
