London (England), July 14, 2025 (ANI): Indian Men’s Cricket Test team captain Shubman Gill on his press conference shared about India vs England Test Series. England beat India by 22 runs on the fifth day of the 3rd Test match; take a lead of 2-1 in the series.Team India skipper Shubman Gill said, "Jadeja is one of India's most valuable players. The experience that he brings in, the skillset that he brings with his batting, bowling and fielding, he is someone very rare and hard to find. The kind of composure he has shown today is tremendous to watch..." Further he said, "We did not bat well in the last one-hour yesterday and the first one hour today. At least one or two 50-run partnerships were required from the top order. Unfortunately, this was the first time our top order did not perform well. I think the way Jaddu and our lower order batted, it is a proud moment for the team..."

00:00Thank you very much.
00:01We haven't come yet.
00:02We haven't come yet.
00:03We haven't come yet.
00:04But after that, we will win.
00:07There will be some moments like this.
00:09We have also made a match in Leeds.
00:11What happened here?
00:13What do you feel like?
00:15What do you feel like?
00:17Yes sir.
00:18We haven't played a long time in the batting.
00:21We haven't played a long time in the beginning.
00:24I think the top order was necessary
00:28if we have a 1-2-50 run,
00:31we have seen that the ball is easy to do.
00:36That was our goal.
00:38But unfortunately,
00:39I think it was the first time
00:41that our top order was so good.
00:44But it happens sometimes.
00:46But we were still in the last game.
00:49It was like 1-10 run,
00:521-10 run and we can close the match.
00:56I think it's a very proud effort from the team.
01:04Shrivan, can you just talk us about Jadeja.
01:07He made his debut almost 13 years back.
01:09He's seen the most player on the side.
01:11Four half centuries.
01:12He's pretty much India's most valuable player.
01:16Like you said, he's India's most valuable player.
01:21I think the experience that he brings in,
01:24the skill set that he brings with his bowling,
01:26batting and fielding,
01:27he's someone that is very rare and hard to find.
01:30And the kind of composure that he showed today,
01:34it was just tremendous to watch.
01:36I think betting with the lower order of the tail has been one of the things
01:38that we spoke about in the previous two matches,
01:40that our lower order of the tail hasn't been contributing as much.
01:43But I think the character and the courage that they showed was tremendous.
01:48I think it's better in the field.
01:49Extras here, because the ball is so wobble.
01:50It's difficult.
01:51I mean, unforced error.
01:54You're trying to feel that you don't try to make it worse.
01:56If there's a catchers because of the problem your issues,
01:59here on the extra's because of the problem,
02:01how do you see this?
02:02How do you see this?
02:04How can it move?
02:05Sir, I think in the field,
02:07we're better in the field.
02:10Extras here,
02:12because the ball is so wobble.
02:15It's difficult.
02:16It means unforced error.
02:18You try, as a team,
02:20you don't have to do unforced error from the team.
02:22as such as such as u s me s shay d eek dho chauke d eekhye to shay d bho ruk sakti thai but
02:32ithna u s chiyze p e h mne dhyan ni dhya. h mko laga one nine ty phir bhi chasable ha at the end of the day.
02:41h mko phele bies pachish over u s me try karna ha ki eek pachas run ka partnership ho kisi ka ya dho pachas run ka partnership ho
02:47or we have a partnership of 250 runs,
02:49then the match will be easier for us to go deep.
02:55Shuman, there was obviously a lot of tension between the two teams at various times.
02:59How do you reflect on that from your team and you personally?
03:03I mean, you're giving everything.
03:05You're giving your mentally, physically everything.
03:08There would be times where there would be a little bit of heat from both sides.
03:12But I think that's what makes it so exciting.
03:15You know, that's what makes it more challenging.
03:17You know, the next time we're going to play again each other,
03:21you know, there won't be...
03:22Like at the end of the day, there's a lot of admiration within two teams.
03:26Both the teams try their best to be able to win a match and perform.
03:30To be able to win their team, they try their best.
03:33And there can be moments where there would be some kind of a heat.
03:38You are in the moment, you're trying everything to be able to do whatever it takes to make your team win.
03:43And I think it happens in a game of cricket and that's what makes it more exciting.
03:47Shuman, that's the third game that has gone to the final session of the final day.
03:54Does that suggest to you that these are two very evenly matched teams
03:58and that the last two test matches will be just as difficult to call as the first three?
04:04I wouldn't call it difficult, I would call it exciting.
04:07You know, the longer the match goes, shows that how well both the teams are balanced.
04:13It's just a matter of which team keeps their calm and composure for the longer time, I think.
04:19Both the teams, the skill set that both the teams have is so balanced.
04:28And we both play, I think, such kind of a similar yet different cricket
04:34that we challenge each other in different ways.
04:36And that's what makes the series, especially series of five test matches, so exciting and special.
04:42Shuman, the third day that was five minutes, I don't think that the England team took this much personally
04:50and the third day that was five minutes, the whole five minutes came out of the game.
04:55No sir, I can't define five minutes in your five days.
05:00If I have seen the moments, I think, that was the most important moment in my top five moments.
05:05The most important moment was Rishabh's run-out.
05:08It was one point that we could have 50 or 100 run-ups.
05:13And we knew that it wouldn't be easy to batting in day five.
05:17So the most important moment in our first inning will be our best.
05:21So I think that it was a very important moment.
05:25And if you take the lead there, then the other team is on the back foot.
05:31The third day at the end, both teams were on the level.
05:35And then obviously it happens that whatever team is good to batting here,
05:38there will be a little pressure on chasing the team.
05:41And I think that today's one hour and today's one hour,
05:46our top order didn't perform so much as we wanted.
05:50And it happens sometimes.
05:52You know, the pressure was on us.
05:54We were able to handle more pressure than we didn't have done.
05:57But what I'm talking about,
05:59I don't know if I'm talking about this game,
06:01but I don't know if I'm talking about this game,
06:03but I don't know if I'm talking about this game.
06:05I don't know if I'm talking about this game.
06:07I don't know if I'm talking about this game.
06:09But that's exciting.
06:10You guys are all trying to do the whole team,
06:13and you're all trying to win,
06:14and you're all trying to win for winning.
06:15They all are exciting and exciting moments
06:19and the series are exciting.
06:21Shuman, that's my question to you about your questions,
06:26I've been talking about Rishabh Tanth
06:28that he sort of ran out turning point.
06:33KLAQ WA said before lunch this one,
06:34he said there are two overs,
06:35one hundredbacks will come out and then
06:36you'll be a sharp single.
06:39There's a lot of things taking this up.
06:40Therefore I think you need to think about
06:42a milestone moment or the larger context,
06:44that you need to think about a team
06:46and how is strong in terms of the position,
06:48it is no longer we need to think about.
06:49as because you are captain, coach,
06:51Gautam Gumbir.
06:52You can see these things
06:53that you can see here
06:55as much as important as you can see.
06:57Rather than we can see larger picture.
07:00Do you think that these discussions
07:02are going to be in the dressing room?
07:04Obviously, all of these priorities
07:06are not going to be in India.
07:07But sometimes these moments
07:09create a little bit of a cup.
07:10And we have seen,
07:10as you said, that was the most big moment
07:12where we can see 150 people
07:14and leave it.
07:16This is a lot of stuff.
07:18It seems that we always keep our team
07:20but I think it was an error of judgment
07:23rather than
07:24that I can make my saw.
07:27I think they talked about
07:30that before my saw
07:32is good because the batsman
07:34also feels a little pressure.
07:35Obviously, in 99 years,
07:36but at the end of the day,
07:38I don't think it personally
07:39because they ran out of their personal
07:41milestone.
07:43It was an error of judgment
07:45because the call of Rishabh
07:48didn't have to do it.
07:48And it was a danger
07:50and actually KL by the time.
07:52So, I would say
07:53that it was an error of judgment
07:54which can be from any batsman.
07:56I would say
07:59I have a settled 12
08:01series, all matches going to the last session.
08:04Going forward,
08:05you have a 10-day break
08:06but do you think
08:07you have a settled 11 right now?
08:11You want to continue
08:12with this combination?
08:13Especially, again,
08:14we are not sure
08:15about if Boom is going to play.
08:17Siraj has also had this workload.
08:19Do you think
08:20you have a settled 11
08:21at this moment going forward?
08:22So, I would say
08:24I have a settled 12
08:25and then you see
08:27according to the situation
08:28and the wicket
08:28that there is
08:30which 11
08:30you would want to go for.
08:32As a young team going forward,
08:56you would want to identify
08:58in the racing room
08:59or how do you identify
09:00in the racing room
09:01or how do you identify
09:02in these moments
09:02when we are in the future?
09:05See,
09:06as you said
09:06that we have
09:08I think
09:08majority of the days
09:10if we are watching
09:10in the 15 days
09:11then we are probably
09:11a lot of days
09:12but the sessions
09:14didn't have good
09:15but they have
09:16been very bad.
09:18So,
09:19we have to find
09:19balance
09:20that when we know
09:22that the things
09:23are not going
09:24accordingly
09:25then we can
09:27do a little more
09:28better
09:28or how do we do it?
09:29Or if the betting
09:30collapse
09:31where there are
09:33two wicket
09:33or four wicket
09:34or three
09:35or two
09:35how do we do it?
09:36These are small
09:37margins
09:37which are very important
09:39in any series
09:40but then
09:42I think
09:43it's very close
09:45to the match
09:46that we are
09:47coming to the 20 run
09:48and if a partnership
09:50is over
09:51then the other
09:52team
09:52gets more
09:52pressure
09:53and the pressure
09:55something
09:55or something
09:55and the new
09:56things
09:56try to do it
09:57and try to do it
09:59so at the end
10:01of the day
10:01for 5 days
10:05you have to play
10:05so many sessions
10:06there are a lot of
10:07moments
10:07that they can
10:08do it
10:10and do it
10:10but as a whole
10:12if you look at the match
10:12I think
10:13I am very proud
10:17of the effort
10:18that we put in
10:18that's good
10:19can you give us
10:21an update
10:22on Rishabh's finger
10:23if he will be
10:24okay for the next
10:25test
10:25and to keep
10:26and more importantly
10:28can you talk about
10:29you must be a test
10:31romantic yourself
10:32and can you describe
10:32your emotions
10:33or watching
10:34England team
10:35like Ben Stokes
10:36doing wholeheartedly
10:37and single-handedly
10:38at one point
10:38bowling that spells
10:39what did you feel
10:40sitting
10:40and how did you
10:41enjoy that session?
10:43Firstly
10:43I think Rishabh
10:44went for scans
10:44and there is no
10:45major injury there
10:46so I think
10:46he should be fine
10:47for the next test match
10:48and secondly
10:49you have to
10:50you know
10:51you have to
10:51give credit
10:52where it's due
10:53with the spell
10:53that he bowled
10:54today
10:54I think he bowled
10:5511 overs
10:55on the trot
10:56never easy
10:57coming in
10:58the kind of efforts
11:00that him
11:01and his team
11:02put in
11:02it was truly
11:03commendable to see
11:04and like I said
11:05you give out
11:07everything
11:08and there are
11:09going to be moments
11:10where it's going to be
11:11heat
11:11and a lot of
11:12emotions involved
11:12but at the end
11:14of the day
11:14after a test match
11:15like this
11:15there's always
11:16admiration
11:19from both sides
11:19you know
11:20you realize
11:21that they also
11:22gave in their
11:22everything
11:23we also tried
11:23our best
11:24and they were
11:24the better team
11:24today
11:25yes
11:29I mean
11:30when
11:30Bumrabi and
11:32Jadubai were
11:33betting
11:33every
11:35five or six
11:36runs
11:37that we were
11:38scoring
11:38we could see
11:39you know
11:39there's pressure
11:39coming on them
11:40every five
11:41six runs
11:41and that's
11:42all it was
11:42small partnership
11:44for 30
11:4440 runs
11:46could make
11:46such a
11:47huge difference
11:48and we
11:49we were quite
11:50optimistic
11:50when Seraj
11:52were betting
11:52that if we
11:54just go up
11:55to the second
11:55new ball
11:56and if we
11:57have say
11:5712 or 15
11:58runs
11:59with the
11:59second new
11:59ball
12:00you never
12:00know
12:00you know
12:00couple of
12:02boundaries
12:02here and
12:03there
12:03and then
12:04you're right
12:05back on the
12:06top
12:06not really
12:10not really
12:11the only
12:12word that
12:12we had
12:13when he
12:13got hit
12:14from
12:14Archer
12:14was that
12:15if
12:15Jadubai
12:16can play
12:16the whole
12:17six balls
12:17instead of
12:18giving even
12:18two balls
12:19to him
12:19we thought
12:20he could
12:21he could
12:22there are
12:23better chances
12:23for us
12:24if he plays
12:24the off
12:24spinner
12:25just your
12:27approach
12:27to the
12:28your team's
12:28approach
12:28to the
12:28run chase
12:29over the
12:29last few
12:30hours of
12:30play
12:31obviously
12:32got tremendously
12:33close
12:33just a few
12:34boundaries
12:34away from
12:34winning
12:35are you
12:37happy with
12:37the way
12:38the team
12:38went about
12:39it
12:39any regrets
12:39that you
12:40didn't try
12:40and push
12:41a little
12:41harder
12:42no not
12:43really
12:43you can't
12:44I mean
12:45you wouldn't
12:47have that
12:47much probability
12:48if you were
12:49asking your
12:49tail enders
12:50to hit you
12:51like fours
12:52and sixes
12:52you would
12:53all we
12:55wanted was
12:55to take
12:56the game
12:56as deep
12:57as possible
12:57and put
12:59as much
13:00pressure
13:00as you can
13:01on the
13:01England team
13:02and the
13:03closer
