Shubman Gill met the media for the first time after becoming a Test captain. What did Gambhir and Gill say in this press conference held at BCCI Head Quarters in Mumbai? Let’s know …

Gill spoke on England tour and Rohit-Virat

Shubman Gill said about the tour of England, ‘I think there is pressure to win as a team in every tour.’ He talked about the lack of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, who had said goodbye to the Test format last month. Gill said, ‘We will miss two experienced players who have played for us and have won matches. It is difficult to fill their place. But, there is no separate pressure. Each series has its own pressure and we should be ready to withstand the pressure. Yes, there are no two experienced players, but in the team combination with which we are going, we have a good combination of experience and youth.

Gill reacted on getting captaincy

Expressing happiness over the command of the Indian Test team, Gill said, “I was overwhelmed when I was given the captaincy.” Please tell that after Rohit Sharma retired from Test cricket, Shubman Gill was given this responsibility. He has become the 5th youngest captain to command India in Test cricket. Rishabh Pant will be his deputy on the tour of England.

‘Bumrah will play 3 Test matches’ – Gambhir

Head coach Gautam Gambhir said that no decision has been taken on which three Test matches will play in the series of fast bowler Jaspreet Bumrah. He said, ‘It is always difficult to replace a player like Bumrah. But, we have enough quality. I have also said this in the Champions Trophy. This is a chance for someone else that when he is not in the team, he should come forward and make his place. Gambhir further said, ‘We have not yet decided which three matches he will play. We will discuss them and then take a decision based on the result of the Test series. The result of the series is very important and he also knows this. We will take a decision after going there. Gill said, ‘When you have a fast bowler like Jaspreet Bumrah and whenever he plays it is quite good for us.’

This thing said on the elected squad

Gambhir said about the selected squad, ‘You are always in good condition. This is a five -Test series in England. This is a chance to perform well. He said, ‘Whether it is a clean slate or not, it does not matter. What matters is that we have a really good team. We are excited to perform well. The captain said, ‘I think we have chosen enough bowlers, enough pace battery. Many of our fast bowlers are able to win a Test match in any situation and in any case.

What did Gill say on your captaincy style?

Gill said about her captaincy style, ‘I have no special style. As I play more, I will get more experience and improve my personal style. I want to communicate better with the players, make them feel comfortable. I want to talk about their strength and weaknesses. I want to make bonds with players. He said, ‘When the players feel safe, you can give your 100 percent to the team.’

Who will land on number 3 and 4?

Shubman Gill said about the team combination, ‘We have not yet decided on combination. We still have some time. We also have an Intra-Squad match and 10-day camp in England. We will go there and decide the team. However, it is yet to be seen who will play at number 3 and number 4.

Gambhir expressed grief over the Bangalore accident

Gambhir said about the incident during RCB’s Victory Celebration in Bengaluru, ‘I have always believed that we do not need to do a road show. Even while playing, I used to believe this. Even after winning in 2007, I had to say that we should not do a road show. People’s lives are more important and I will keep saying the same in future, in future we should be a little more aware about these road shows. We can probably do this road show behind closed doors.

Gambhir further said, ‘We should not have done this. Fans are excited. Fans class is excited. But, there is nothing more important than human life. You cannot lose 11 people at any time. According to me, there should not have been a road show.

Gambhir said on Nair’s return

Head coach Gautam Gambhir indicated that Karun Nair could get an additional chance in the England tour. He said, ‘This is great for domestic cricket. This is great for the future of domestic cricket. All young players playing domestic cricket will understand its importance. If you keep doing well in domestic cricket, then the doors for you will never be closed.

Nair’s great form good for India

Gambhir further said about Nair, ‘It is good to have Karun’s experience, who has played a little in county cricket. He has scored runs there and scored a double century for India A. It is always good to have players living in good form in such tours. His experience will definitely work and hopefully he will perform well. Even more importantly, we will not figure out anyone from one or two tests. You people can do this. We will not do this. I think if someone has scored a lot of runs, then he will be given good opportunities at this level so that he can show his talent here too.

I am always under pressure – serious

Gambhir said, ‘I am always under pressure, whether we have got the results or not. If you had asked me this question after the New Zealand series, then I would have said the same. I would say the same after the tour of Australia. I would say the same after the Champions Trophy. I always want the results as a coach. You want to win whatever match you play for your country and therefore you live under pressure. I am also under the same type of pressure.
