Shubman Gill: "Yes, I am still on the high of that knock. When I got back in the field after my batting, I was able to watch the ball properly. It helped me as I couldn't practice the slip catching in the last two days. You saw, after I came onto the field (after a small break), I took a great catch, all thanks to my knock.
When I walked in yesterday, near lunch break, I tried to get myself into the game. I was around 35-40 runs at around Tea after playing around 100 balls. I went to the dressing room and spoke to GG Bhai (Gautam Gambhir), I told him I am not getting boundaries; I am finding the fielders. He asked me to hang in there.
At the end of the IPL, I worked on my technique. I worked on my initial movement and stance. I was batting nicely but getting out after scoring 30-40 runs. So, I wanted to enjoy my batting. I was focusing too hard, so I decided to make the most of it. I started working from the IPL itself.
Moving from T20 to the longer format is tough. You need to work on your mindset. Playing T20s, going after the ball becomes his initial trigger. So, I started practising with the red ball in the IPL itself.
This game is evenly poised, as runs start to flow when the ball gets older. We will look to frustrate them. We will look to bowl at certain areas. There is not much purchase on this wicket for bowlers, but frustrating them would be the trick here."
