Why did Shubman Gill call India a ‘Great team’ after Manchester Test? Reason is…

Both Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar saved their wickets and stood strong, completing their centuries- saving the team from a series defeat. Speaking about the match, Captain Shubman Gill praised the efforts of everyone for their individual contribution- stating they are a ‘great team’.

“To be able to have that same mindset for 140 overs is very difficult, and that is what differentiates a good team from a great team, and I think we showed that today, that is why we are a great team,” Gill told the BCCI TV.

“Zero for two and then the partnership between me and KL bhai, I think that’s what ignited the belief that yes, we can achieve this task. Extremely, extremely happy. To be able to get a draw from the position that we were in yesterday is extremely satisfying,” he added.

Leading the Test team for the first time, the 25-year-old Gill has been prolific in this series and has already amassed 700 runs with four centuries including a double ton, but picked the one at Old Trafford as his best.
