10 big things from Shubman Gill’s press conference

-Pressure of big matches: There is always pressure of big matches. The team which

It handles pressure better, like the old West Indies and Australian teams used to do. Experience within the team really proves to be an advantage, like Virat bhai did in the semi-final match against Australia.

• India has the best batting line-up: In my opinion this is the best batting

There is a line-up. Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have been the best players. Rohit bhai is a brilliant opening batsman and Virat is the best ODI player in history. We have depth in batting, which allows us to play freely.

• Shubman Gill’s role in the team: There are many youngsters in our team. My role is to check whether a young fast bowler or spinner is under pressure or not. If he is under pressure then I have to help him.

-What was discussed before the final: We had a good start against New Zealand in the last match

We batted well after losing 3 wickets in the powerplay. Apart from that, there has not been much discussion within the team. We have played 4 matches so far and have performed well all four times.

Dubai pitch: Shubman Gill said that being a batsman, you always think of batting first. I don’t think any team will be able to score 300 runs here this time too.

• The streak of losing finals: We will definitely lose after reaching the finals

Would like to end this streak. Pressure is not a good thing. It does not mean that we do not have the hunger to win but winning definitely helps.

• Experience of batting in big matches: Seizing opportunities in big matches

It is very important to convert it into a hundred. But no matter how much you try, you cannot score a century in every match.

I bat freely: I am not sure about taking more or less risk

I don’t think at all. Most of my shots are risk-free. I take risks only after thinking carefully.

• Rohit Sharma’s retirement: We have just started talking about Rohit’s retirement

-2023 defeat: Yes, we lost the match on a similar pitch. We talk about how to boost our morale. Our focus is not on individual flaws but on removing the weaknesses of the team. Helping each other is as important as scoring 100 or taking 5 wickets in a match.
