India vs England fifth Test (IND Vs Eng 5th Test) is to be played at The Oval ground from 31 July i.e. tomorrow. Before that, in the press conference, Indian captain Shubman Gill PC has also reacted to the fight between Jaspreet Bumrah’s play to Gautam Gambhir and Pitch Curator. Captain Gill praised Washington Sundar and also told that Arshdeep Singh has been asked to be ready for the fifth Test. However, he did not confirm Arshdeep’s play.

Gambhir and pitch spoke on curator’s fight

On Tuesday, Gautam Gambhir and the pitch curator Lee Fortis of the Oval Maidan had a fight at the Oval ground. To this, captain Gill said, “I do not know what happened there and what he did by the pitch curator. We have played 4 matches here, but no one has stopped us. A lot of cricket has played here, the captain and the coach have seen the pitch very closely. I do not know why all this controversy has arisen.”

Will Bumrah play or not?

On playing Jasprit Bumrah in the fifth Test, Shubman Gill said that a decision will be taken tomorrow. Gill said that there is a lot of grass on the pitch and during the match, the weather conditions will play an important role in Bumrah’s decision to play or not.

How will the bowling combination be?

On the one hand, Jasprit Bumrah is reported to be resting, while Anshul Kamboj could not be done well in his debut test. In such a situation, on bowling combination, Gill said that Arshdeep Singh has been asked to repair his preparations, but the final decision will be taken only after proper assessment of the pitch. On one hand, England have not included a single spinner in their team, while Gill showed confidence that Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar can again play the magic of their spin.

Shubman gill press conference in hindi: From Friday, the young Team India will take on England famous for Bazball. Under the captaincy of Shubman Gill, India’s youth team has gone to England to play a five -match Test series. This is the first Test series of Team India after the retirement of stars like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Ravichandran Ashwin. The Indian team will play the first Test match in Leeds from Friday, June 20. Earlier, captain Shubman Gill held a press conference.

Winning Test series is bigger than IPL- Shubman Gill

India’s new Test captain Shubman Gill said on Thursday that winning the Test series against England, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa is a big achievement from winning the IPL title.

Asked who he would win the Test series in England and to put him above the IPL title, he said, “Surely win in the Test series. You don’t get much opportunities for the tour of England. If you are one of the best in your generation, then perhaps two tours or three. IPL is every year and every year gets a chance. I think I am winning England, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa.

‘We can win anywhere’

Gill may not have experience of playing with a red ball in England, but he is not distracted by the challenge. He said, “Many people say that your team does not have that much experience but the good thing is that we will not have that much burden of expectations because most of the players have not played in England. This will make a difference.”

Gill further said, “The blueprint we have received from our seniors in the last five to ten years is that we can win anywhere. We will try to play with the same confidence.”

I will play at number four- Shubman Gill

He said that his and head coach Gautam Gambhir believes that he should bat at number four after Kohli’s retirement. He said, “After Virat Bhai’s retirement from Test cricket, I and Gautam Gambhir Bhai spoke on it and we both were unanimous that I should land at number four.”

Told your captaincy formula

Gill also said that he wants to create an atmosphere of security in the team so that the players can perform their best. He said, “If we are successful in doing so, then you will be very successful in the Test Series and WTC cycle. There is a clear dialogue with the players what you want from them. They should be allowed to show their natural game.”

Rohit and Virat were advised in IPL

Gill also said that during the IPL, he had consulted Virat and Rohit to prepare for the tour of England. He said, “I met both during the IPL and told about their experiences. Especially here in England. The series we played in India (2023-24) were one of my best. In that too our senior players were not available in every match.”
