“I sympathised with the India captain, Shubman Gill, in that fourth innings,” Cook wrote in his column for UK-based newspaper The Times.
“With it going round the park you could see lots of people out on the field making decisions and getting involved with DRS calls, and they got all of those wrong. You can read all the leadership books you like but until you are out there, there is no other feeling like it. I imagine he would have felt shell-shocked,” Cook added.
Gill smashed a superb 147, the second-highest individual score of the match, in the first innings. It was one of five centuries made by India batters across the Test, with Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul slamming one each, and Rishabh Pant smashing two.
