Shubman Gill Knock in Wankhede Test: Shubman Gill impressed everyone with his batting in the third Test match being played between India and New Zealand. Shubman Gill believes that the technical improvements made before the five-Test series against England earlier this year helped him improve his brilliant 90-run innings in the third and final Test here on Saturday, which put India in a strong position against New Zealand.
Apart from Gill, Rishabh Pant's aggressive 60-run innings gave India a lead of 28 runs, after which New Zealand scored 171 runs for nine wickets in their second innings on the second day and took a lead of 143 runs. Gill said in the press conference after the end of the day's play that 'This is definitely one of my best innings in Test cricket. Before this Test, I was working on the areas on which I had worked before the England series.'
Repeated technique against spinners
Shubman Gill In that series (against England) I was batting the best against spinners. Just to be able to get back into that mindset in practice before this match and try to replicate how to play spinners. The conversation with the coach was just about reiterating how to play spinners well.'
I am trying to enjoy the game- Gill.
Gill, while stressing the importance of a clear mindset while batting under pressure at the start of the second day, said, 'I was trying to enjoy the game. I like batting and I was thinking of going there and batting for a long time. I was not trying to put too much pressure on myself thinking that I have to score so many runs. I was trying to enjoy the game on the field, even if it was difficult. Because you don't get to play so many Test matches.'
