India’s 600th Test: Captain called this victory very special
After making his 600th Test match memorable, captain Shubman Gill, while reacting after the win, said that this match and its result has been very satisfactory for the team. Referring to the atmosphere before the match, Gill said that due to bad weather and uncertainty of rain, there was some pressure regarding organizing the match, but the kind of fighting spirit shown by the team while overcoming every situation is praiseworthy.
Why did the batting falter in the second innings? Captain told the real reason
During the match, when questions were raised about Indian batsmen getting out early and faltering in the second and third innings, captain Gill clearly denied any concern about it. He explained that this was a part of the strategy:
-
Aggressive attitude: Gill told that the team wanted to score a huge score of around 400 runs in its third innings.
-
Uncertainty of overs: Due to bad weather and shadow of rain, the team did not know how many overs would be bowled or played in the match on the fourth and fifth days. This was the reason that the batsmen adopted an aggressive approach to increase the score quickly, due to which some wickets fell early, but ultimately the team reached a strong position.

He is a very talented player and can serve India for a long time.

He said that scoring a century is a big thing in itself, but prolonging the innings even after scoring a century is the main difference between a comfortable and a struggling match.
