Shubman Gill Press Conference: The five -match Test series between India and England is scheduled to begin tomorrow, June 20. Before the commencement of the Test series against England, Indian team captain Shubman Gill has held a press conference. Through this, Gill has shocked the opposition team with the intention of winning the series of Team India.

‘I want to play as a batsman’

Before the series against England, the Indian Test team captain Shubman Gill said that ‘When I go to play as a batsman in this series, I do not want me to think that I am the captain of this team, because it has a different pressure on you’. Gill further said that ‘I want to play as a batsman and I want to dominate the opposition team and also want me to become the number one batsman of this series’.

Blue print has been received from seniors

Shubman Gill told in the press conference that ‘We have received two blue prints from our senior in the last five-ten years that we can win by going to any country. Our effort will be an attempt to follow this blue print. Gill further said that ‘if the atmosphere in your team is good and the players know what is their role in the game, if we are able to make it in the team, then we can succeed in the England series and this entire WTC season’.

India tour of India

The Indian team has reached the tour of England from 7 June. This series will start from June 20 and will run till August 4. The command of the Indian team is in the hands of Shubman Gill.

India vs england test: A new chapter of Team India is starting under the captaincy of Shubman Gill, the Indian cricket team adorned with most young players wants to create history by winning in England. But this will not be easy, because there are some weaknesses of Team India on this tour.

Under the captaincy of MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli, the Indian team played a total of 4 Test series in England, but could not win even in one. 3 England won and 1 draw. Now you can understand how difficult it is to win in England, this time most of the players in the team are young. Although there is no lack of enthusiasm in them, but still there are 5 such big weaknesses which remain the headache of Team India.

Jaspreet dependent on Bumrah

The biggest relief for the Indian team is that experienced bowler Jasprit Bumrah is in this tour, who has the power to collapse any batting unit. However, they cannot be completely dependent on them, because Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar had told at the time of the team’s announcement that Bumrah might not play all the matches. Bumrah himself has also confirmed that he will play only 3 Tests, so he refused to take over the captaincy. In such a situation, Gill will hop that players like Arshdeep Singh, famous Krishna, Shardul Thakur should do well. Ravindra Jadeja and Kuldeep will also have responsibility.

Trouble in front of swing

In England, you have to play and play, but Indian batsmen are not so good in this, and it is even more difficult to do so when swinging. England’s pitches help fast bowlers, the ball is more swing, there is an uneven bounce and Indian batsmen are not very good in front of the swing. Even captain Shubman Gill cannot play the swing very well. Karun Nair can be important, he also has experience of playing in England, but the big thing is that he is returning after 7 years in international, so will it also have a pressure on him. KL Rahul is also expected better, he also batted brilliantly in the practice match and scored a century against England Lions.

Shubman Gill’s record

Shubman Gill’s record on foreign land is not very good, if we talk about the test, its average is 35. They have trouble on swing balls and this will happen in all matches in England. Shubman Gill will have to do something that Virat Kohli did in 2018. Kohli was able to score 134 runs in 10 innings in England in 2014, but after that when he returned in 2018, he appeared in a different form. He scored 593 runs in the series, which was the highest run by one batsman in the series. During this, he scored 2 centuries and 3 half -centuries.

Fielding has to be improved

Fielding of Indian players has also always been a big problem. Due to the presence of Virat, there was different enthusiasm in the fielding department, if he is not there, then what will it be like? It will be interesting to see this. Dux ball is very swing in England, if the winds are often fast, then it is not easy to catch a catch. In such a situation, the practice of slip catch and fielding will be important.

Lack of experience in Indian batsmen

Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma’s departure has had a huge impact in this team, the batting order will have to be changed. Many young players will get a chance, but will they be able to feel pressure to play in England? Good good batsmen do not play easily in England, it is also difficult for him. There is a lack of experience in the Indian batting line up. Therefore KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant will have to do well.
