"Good position to be in"- Shubman Gill after taking India to 587 in 1st innings of 2nd Test vs England in Edgbaston
Speaking to the official broadcaster after stumps on Day 2, India captain Shubman Gill stated that his team was in a good position. He also shed light on the work he put in behind the scenes with the bat, which has been working well for him this series. Shubman said (via Cricbuzz):
"Good position to be in. I worked on a few things at the end of IPL, which is very important before going into Test cricket. Looking at how things gave gone so far, it is working for me."
"I did not take any slip catches for the last couple of days because I was batting, but nice to get those catches. Fielding was very important and we discussed about it that if we were half as good in the previous game, things would have been different," Gill added.
