Thus far, the current Border-Gavaskar Trophy has been an exciting event. The first match in Perth saw India defeat the hosts by 295 runs, but the hosts rallied strongly in the day-night Test to even the score. On December 14, 2024, an exciting third game is ready to begin.
Shubman Gill, the top-order batsman for India, began by discussing the difficulties the Indians experienced during the Test match at the Adelaide Oval.
“Pink Ball is unique. It’s a little more difficult. We’re more accustomed to red balls. “The dynamic of it, playing at night is a little hard to gauge seam and hand position in the night,” Gill said at the pre-match news conference, according to The Indian Express.
In order to play at The Gabba and throughout Australia, Gill also emphasised the significance of psychological resilience.
“I believe that the difficulty of the games here is the passion with which they are played. The level of mental force and
fitness that is necessary in this situation. “I think it gets easier to bat after 35 overs until the second new ball,” he said, despite the difficult conditions.
This generation isn’t concerned with bowling: Shubman Gill
Before the crucial match in Brisbane, Gill expressed the confidence that pervaded the Indian setup. “If you don’t win, you’ll be scared. Last time, we prevailed, even in India. “This generation just looks at the ball and doesn’t consider who’s bowling,” Gill continued.
Additionally, he addressed a query regarding captain Rohit Sharma’s decision to skip India’s optional training session.
“This was an optional session and he has already practised a lot,” he explained. It’s interesting to note that this comes after Sunil Gavaskar, a former Indian great, criticised unsuccessful players for skipping optional training sessions even though there was a sufficient amount of time between games.
