‘We are looking to…’: Shubman Gill reveals India’s game plan for Brisbane Test

The India batter who managed to score a total of 59 runs in the second Test of the series in Adelaide revealed the Men in Blue's main objective heading into the third Test

India batter Shubman Gill believes that the team will have to put up a massive first-inning total against Australia in the third match of the Border-Gavaskar series which is set to commence from December 14 in Brisbane.

Gill didn’t feature in the first Test in Perth due to a thumb injury, but did look in good touch during his innings of 31 and 28 in the pink-ball Test at the Adelaide Oval where India ended up losing comprehensively by 10 wickets.

“As a batting group, we are looking to post a big total first up. That’s been the key discussion and every batter has his own game plan,” Gill said at the pre-match press conference.

Gill admitted that the team didn’t do well in the Adelaide Test, adding that following the their defeat in the second Test, it is now a 3-match series for the side.

“Adelaide Test, we didn’t do well but the series is still 1-1. We will treat it as a three-match Test series and if we win this one, we will have advantage going into Melbourne and Sydney,” Gill said.
