India opted for the second new ball during the final session on Day 1 after 80.1 overs. However, that ball was replaced just 10.3 overs later on the second day. Shubman Gill appeared frustrated with the replacement ball and engaged in a lengthy, animated conversation with the umpire about it.
"The ball was doing everything this morning. The ball they had for 63 deliveries was zipping around corners. Bumrah was going through a magic spell, Siraj at the other end was having catches dropped," Hussain said on commentary for Sky Sports (via Neyfiction/X).

It Was One of the Most Bizarre Decisions - Nasser Hussain on Shubman Gill
Nasser Hussain said that India decided to change the ball after just 63 deliveries, calling it “one of the most bizarre decisions.” The cricketer-turned-commentator said that Dukes balls can be unpredictable, and the captain should stick with one when it is performing well.
"You got a ball in your hand that is doing a lot. We all know these Dukes balls are variable. I thought it was a really odd thing. A for India to do, B then to get really animated and C, now to say 'the ball we got is no good'. Don't change the good one."
