The new Indian team is all set to play their first Test of the five-match series against England starting today at Headingley, Leeds. Prior to that, in the Press conference, the confident young captain Shubman Gill shared some light on their possible approach towards the team's combination. Unlike the England team, India is yet to announce their playing XI. However, from what Gill said, it is unlikely that the team will let a specialized batter till six. In the press conference, Gill said, "If you want to win a Test, you have to take 20 wickets-no matter how many runs you score. We've been discussing that. There might be times we go with six batters, a bowling all-rounder, and three or four frontline bowlers." Shubman Gill shared highlights on his relationship with Rishabh Pant Earlier, in a press conference, the vice captain of India, Rishabh Pant, informed that he will be batting at 5 and Shubman will come at 4. However, the rest of the squad was not said, even though it's quite certain that Yashasvi Jaiswal will be opening with KL Rahul. Meanwhile, speaking about the camaraderie with his fellow senior Rishabh, Gill said, "Rishabh and I have played a lot together. Our mindset and vision are sort of aligned. We want to build an environment where players feel safe and confident. We believe that's how we'll bring the best out of everyone." Gill, no doubt, has been a caring and communicative captain throughout. Running to the players to have a chat on the field, or sometimes running for the player to have a chat with the umpires—these are very common frames with Gill as the captain. And yet again, his words reflected his urge to maintain an easy-flowing environment where players can come with their suggestion, and he can do enough to boost their confidence. Gill said, "It's about (having) clear communication; what you want from them? Trying to assign roles, how they would want to go about their things. Having the confidence to be able to back them with their natural game (as to) how they want to play this game." He added, “Definitely there would be some players that you tend to give long ropes just because of their pure potential that you see. But having said that, it's all about giving them clear communication and having honest conversations with them and that's how I feel the bond of a leader and a player is (at) the best.”
