Ind vs Eng: Oltre a vincere la partita di Edgbaston mentre Skipper, Shubman Gill ha inventato inning di 269 e 161.
Shubman Gill’s post-match conference after the win at Edgbaston was quite special. As soon as he entered the hall, he enquired about the English journalist, who had reminded Gill about India’s woeful record at the venue — where until a couple of days back, the team had never won a Test.
Shubman Gill’s Favorite Journalist Responds
“I can’t see my favourite journalist. Where is he? I wanted to see him,” Gill had said. That journalist was BBC’s Joe Wilson, who has now finally come up with his version of the story. “What the captain said, very sensibly, was that if you look back to the 1960s, 1970s, even 1980s, let’s say, there was a different feel to the Indian team when they travelled abroad,” he told RevSportz.
“There was no expectation from them to win. Now, they do have the expectation to win. So, maybe that was just statistics, in terms of history. Maybe, it was a motivation. Because, We lost count of records that Shubman himself and India broke. How to get Shubman out that would be the no. 1,” Joe Wilson further added.
IND vs ENG 3rd Test
When being questioned about, if we would say the same before the Lord’s Test too, Wilson had a surprising answer. “I would say anything to motivate him, may be who knows. I think he is a real gentleman. he answers every question with great dignity. We love to talk about statistics, don’t we. It was fun.”
