India Ne England Ko Dhool Chatayi!
Team India ne England ke Edgbaston Test match mein jo kiya, woh toh sach mein kamaal tha! Pehli baar unhone England ko is venue par haraya. Kisi ne socha bhi nahi tha ki team yeh kar payegi, kyunki pehle kabhi Gill ke predecessors ne Birmingham mein England ko nahi haraya tha. Jasprit Bumrah ko bhi team mein nahi liya gaya tha, toh logon ne team ki niyat par bhi sawal uthaye the. Ek English journalist ne toh India ka Edgbaston mein history bhi yaad dila di thi, ki kaise team kabhi bhi ek bhi match nahi jeeti.
Shubman Gill Ka Jabab!
Match ke baad, jab Shubman Gill press conference mein aaye, toh unki aankhein ussi journalist ko dhund rahi thi jisne unhe pre-match press meet mein stats dikhaye the. Gill ne mazak mein kaha, “Mujhe mere favourite journalist nahi dikh rahe. Kahan hai woh? Main unhe dekhna chahta tha.” Unhone aage kaha, “Maine toh Test match se pehle hi kaha tha ki mujhe history aur stats mein zyada vishwaas nahi hai. Pichle 56 saalon mein, humne nau matches khele hain – different teams aayi hain. Mujhe lagta hai ki hum best team hain jo England aayi hai, aur hum mein unhe harane ki capability hai, series jeetne ki capability hai. Agar hum sahi decisions lete rahe aur fight karte rahe, toh yeh series yaad rakhne layak hogi.”
Bowlers Ne Kiya Kamaal!
India ke skipper ne team ke pace duo Akash Deep aur Mohammed Siraj ki bhi khoob tareef ki, jinhone Jasprit Bumrah ki kami ko pura kiya. Gill ne kaha, “Hamare bowlers magnificent the. Hum kahin bhi 20 wickets lene ki capability rakhte hain. Siraj, Akash, aur Prasidh ne consistency se bowling ki, jisne hamein chote-chote moments jeetne mein madad ki. Isse hi difference create hota hai.” Unhone apni success ka mantra batate hue kaha, “Jab ball flat pitch par soft hoti hai, toh runs rokna mushkil hota hai. Hard ball se wickets lena asaan ho jata hai. Second new ball spell ne game change kar diya.”
IPL Se Ki Taiyari!
Apni batting performance par Gill ne kaha ki unhone England series ke liye preparation IPL 2025 mein hi shuru kar di thi. “Maine IPL ke last phase mein kuch cheezon par kaam karna shuru kar diya tha,” Gill ne kaha. “Hum bahar ki baaton par dhyan nahi dete. Opinions har game mein change hote hain. Agar aapke teammates aap par trust karte hain, toh wohi matter karta hai.”
