After The Match What the Player Said
Shubman Gill is Man of the Match. “I think this innings I’ll rank pretty high. It was a special innings in a big match against Pakistan. I thought 250-260 would be a good-enough total for the pacers to defend. Nowadays cricket is all about adaptability. I’d like to play all three formats. Looking forward to playing Australia in the final.”
“I think it was a good allround performance, we did a great job,” says Prithvi Shaw. “The plan was simple: just look for the loose balls and convert it into boundaries. First-class you get really good experience playing with guys who have already played for India,so it’s a great experience. Facing Australia will be a good challenge.Let’s see what happens.”
