India’s new Test captain Shubman Gill said in a press conference before leaving on Thursday, “I think every time you play a match or start a tour, there is pressure. There is pressure before every series, but there will be no extra pressure here.”
He further said, “Rohit and Virat are very experienced players and it is very difficult to fill them, we have a lot of experience as a team. We have played a lot of matches. The players and the team are all accustomed to pressure. We are not so inexperienced players. The combination of batting and bowling in our team is very good.”
Captain Shubman Gill has not yet decided on which number he will bat. He has also batted at number-3 besides opening in the last tours, but due to Rohit’s absence, the team management will also have to decide that if Gill decides to open, then who will be with him? Yashasvi Jaiswal or Bengal opener Abhimanyu Ishwaran, who has not played any international match yet.
Shubman Gill also recalled the moment when he was first reported to be the captain of the Test team. He said, “When it came to know that I would get such a chance, I was very excited. This experience was quite encouraging. But, I think it is a big responsibility. We have not decided on the batting order yet. We still have some time. We have a spot match in London. So we still have time to decide.”
With this Test series in England, Team India is going to start its new assignment of World Test Championship-2025-27. India aims to win the Test series in England for the first time since 2007.
