Big Honour To Lead India, I'm Kind Of Getting Used To It: Gill After Series Whitewash Over WI
Arun Jaitley Stadium: India captain Shubman Gill said it is a ‘great honour for him to lead the Test side after sealing his first series win as the skipper through a 2-0 series win over West Indies at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Tuesday. India chased down 121 in the first hour of day five to win by seven wickets and get 12 valuable World Test Championship points.
"It's a really big honour (to lead India), I'm kind of getting used to it. Managing all the players, leading this team is a great honour. It's about taking the right options in the given situation. I try to make the most probable decision in the given situation that we are in that game. And sometimes you have to take a bold decision, depending on which player can get you certain runs or can get you those wickets,” said Gill at the close of the game.
Gill explained the rationale behind enforcing the follow-on after India took a 270-run lead in the match. “We were around 300 runs ahead. We thought even if we scored like 500 runs and we have to get 6 or 7 wickets on day 5, it could be a tough day for us. So, that was the thought process.”
