IND vs AUS: He Was Surprised But I Told Him That’s My Shot – Shubman Gill On His Six Against Nathan Lyon

Young Indian opener Shubman Gill, who scored a stupendous century in the fourth and final test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy revealed an interesting incident involving him–and Indian skipper Rohit Sharma during the match. Shubman Gill scored a career-best score of 128 runs before being dismissed by Nathan Lyon in the 1st innings at Ahmedabad.

Speaking to the media at the end of Day 3 play, when reporters questioned him about his stunning last ball six against Nathan Lyon on Day2, Gill maintained that even his batting partner Rohit Sharma is quite surprised by his batting–and revealed that it was a good wicket so he trusted his instinct to play that shot.

Gill asserted added that India batters will try to score some runs on Day 4 and are hopeful of getting a result on the fifth day.

“He was surprised. But I told him that’s my shot. If an off-spinner is bowling on a good wicket, like the one we are playing on and the field was up to me. I thought that was my shot and I was confident that I would hit for a boundary,” Gill stated.

Gill has been enjoying some form this year scoring 5 hundreds in 2023. Gill scored his 1st test century in 2023. He has already scored two centuries and a double century in ODIs as well as a T20I century this year.

Hopefully, The Wicket Will Help Our Bowlers On the Fifth Day – Shubman Gill

Gill further continued that the wicket might help the bowlers on the final day so that India can get the desired result, which will eventually seal their place in the World Test Championship final.

Hopefully, we’ll bat well tomorrow and get some big scores for us, and then you know anything can happen on day five. Hopefully, the wicket will help our bowlers and if it does, we’ll be trying to win this match. The pitch was pretty good to bat on… It was important for us to bat big and keep picking the singles whenever possible,” Gill concluded.

Coming into the match, at the time of writing India was 361-4  with Shubman Gill being the top scorer for India before being dismissed by Nathan Lyon. Virat Kohli is batting brilliantly and is unbeaten on 88 runs. India will look to add as many runs as possible to go past Australia’s 1st innings total of 480 runs.
