I Was Focused On Field Placements, Not The Century: Gill
New Delhi: After steering India to a four-wicket win over England in the ODI series opener with a calm 87, top-order batter Shubman Gill said he was not focused on getting his century, and was just looking at the field placements set for him at the VCA Stadium in Nagpur.
“No, I wasn’t thinking about my century. I was focused on the field placements and played my shots accordingly. I wanted to dominate the bowler, and I would have played the same shot even if I was in my 60s,” said Gill to Disney+ Hotstar.
He also shared his thoughts on adjusting to batting at number three after playing all the time as an opener. “I play at No. 3 in Tests, so it wasn’t a big adjustment. It’s always a challenge at that position because you have to adapt to the game situation. If the team loses quick wickets, you need to play sensibly. If the team starts well, you need to carry the momentum. My approach was simple—play according to the situation.”
