India captain Shubman Gill made his intentions clear during the pre-match press conference ahead of the second Test against West Indies in New Delhi, stating that his goal is to play and win titles across all formats. Gill was recently promoted as India’s ODI captain, adding to his role as Test skipper.
00:00Congratulations on your point. I just want to know, how did it work? In the last 3 months, the world has changed.
00:1570 runs in England, Captain 3, FCD and now also we are Captain 3. When do you get to know how it will process it?
00:23Yes sir, it was announced in the middle of a test match but I got to know a little before that.
00:37It obviously is a big responsibility and an even bigger honor.
00:44So very excited to lead my country in that format and yes the last few months have been very exciting for me.
00:52But I am really looking forward to what the future has. I want to stay as present as possible and don't really want to look back on what I have been able to achieve or what we as a team have been able to achieve.
01:04Just want to look forward and win everything that we have in the upcoming months.
01:10Yes sir.
01:11Yes sir.
01:12Yes sir.
01:13Yes sir.
01:14Yes sir.
01:15Yes sir.
01:16Yes sir.
01:17Yes sir.
01:18Yes sir.
01:19Yes sir.
01:20Yes sir.
01:21Yes sir.
01:22Yes sir.
01:23Yes sir.
01:24Yes sir.
01:25Yes sir.
01:26Yes sir.
01:27Yes sir.
01:28Yes sir.
01:29Yes sir.
01:30Yes sir.
01:31Yes sir.
01:32Yes sir.
01:33Yes sir.
01:34Yes sir.
01:35Yes sir.
01:36Yes sir.
01:37Yes sir.
01:38Yes sir.
01:39Yes sir.
01:40Yes sir.
01:41Yes sir.
01:42Yes sir.
01:43Yes sir.
01:44Yes sir.
01:45Yes sir.
01:46Yes sir.
01:47Yes sir.
01:48Yes sir.
01:49On the spinning tracks, we have seen how good the quality of Dubai is.
01:54This is the reason that he is the number one all-rounder in the World Miss time.
01:58So I think we are very lucky to have him in RT.
02:02What about the fielding?
02:04The fielding, the catchers, the intensity of their fielding.
02:10When they have balls, now we have seen batsmen who don't run away from their hands.
02:19The fielding, the non-stop cricket is like an idea.
02:22And then there is a lot of cricket ahead.
02:24I guess it was an MC.
02:26And now the captain is two formats, vice-captain is the other format.
02:30So how do you, and all this obviously is physically and mentally taxing.
02:35How do you go over, manage these workouts and then avoiding burnout as well?
02:40Yes sir, I think more than physically.
02:43Physically, most of the time I feel fine.
02:45But sometimes, yes, there is mental fatigue because when you are constantly playing,
02:50there is obviously certain expectations that I have from myself.
02:54And to be able to keep up with my own expectations sometimes becomes a challenge.
02:59But I think that's the challenge about, you know, to be able to play all the formats for India.
03:05And I want to play all the formats and I want to succeed in all the formats for the country and win ICC titles.
03:12So if I want to do that, then this is the challenge that I have to go through.
03:17Subman, I wanted to ask you, what do you think is the difference?
03:22The captain, the red ball team, the back ball team, the back ball team?
03:24Do you think that's the challenge here?
03:26Do you think that the difference is in perspective or due to this?
03:31Which match is the same?
03:32No sir, it's not the same.
03:34I feel in test matches, the better team does come on top at the end of the day
03:39because you've got more chances and more opportunities to make a comeback.
03:43Whereas in T20, if you have three, four hours of bad period,
03:48there might be a case that you are completely taken away from the game.
03:52So it is different in that sense.
03:54When you are playing a test match there,
03:56whenever a team wins a test match for that particular match,
03:59that team deserved to win the test match
04:01because they played better cricket not for two, three hours or not for one day,
04:05but consistently over a period of three, four or five days.
04:08So the challenge is to stay on top for five days in a test match.
04:15And that is more difficult than captaining in a T20 game.
04:20Whereas in a T20 game, you get off to a really good start
04:24and then you maintain that.
04:25Then you're sort of able to be on top of the game for the entirety of the game.
04:29But in a test match, you can be on top for two days.
04:32But if you don't turn up on day three, the other team can make a comeback.
04:36Yes, sir. There's been conversations about that.
04:58Especially when we go overseas, we always struggle with a third or a fourth seeming option,
05:05especially on tracks that assist fast goalers.
05:08And we think it would be unfair on the guy if you're only playing him overseas
05:12because that doesn't really give him that much opportunity.
05:14Especially in the next year, year and a half, we aren't playing that many matches outside of India.
05:20So to be able to back a guy who can bowl 10-15 overs for us in a day and can bat as well.
05:28We saw how he batted in Australia.
05:29So there's definitely a lot of ability and a lot of potential in him.
05:31So we want to give him as much as game time, especially in India and want to help him.
05:36And according to the match and according to the situation where we feel he can bat up the order
05:40or down the order, we'll keep that in the mind.
05:46Shubhant, can you just go over with it to your working dynamic and political relationship
05:53with the world of the world of the world of the world of the world of the world of the world of the world?
06:01Sir, our relation is really good. It's very simple actually.
06:05We always try to have conversations around how we can make the players feel more secure
06:14and what kind of combinations that we can play.
06:16We sort of want to look at an 18 or a 15 member squad
06:23where we are picking constantly players from that bunch and from that squad.
06:28And one of the key things that we discuss is how we can build our fast bowlers.
06:32We have a pool of good fast bowlers and we want to be able to keep recruiting them
06:37so that they get enough opportunities, you know,
06:39come whenever we tour South Africa, Australia and New Zealand.
06:43Shubhant, hi, I'm D for what you're doing.
06:46Two quick questions to ask you.
06:49So, really if you have to pick a fast,
06:51you can't have a very high defense in Asia, how the Western you see,
06:56which is not that, you know, intense.
06:58How do you think yourself and your team motivated even, you know, go ahead
07:03and the contest is still outside?
07:05That's number one.
07:06I have to do the best thing that you have made from your great former captains.
07:12And I'm not taking the answers as the team.
07:15Firstly, I don't think your intensity drops down depending on the opposition.
07:20The kind of, it doesn't matter who we are playing.
07:24We want to be able to play at our own intensity.
07:28And we want to be able, when you're playing for India,
07:30you don't need external motivation to be able to, you know, up your intensity.
07:36It doesn't matter if you're playing West Indies, Bangladesh, Australia or England.
07:40We want to be able to play at our own intensity
07:43and we want to maintain our own standards.
07:45And the qualities, so many qualities that I inherited from Rohit Bhai
07:50is the calmness that he poses
07:52and the kind of friendship that he has among the group
07:55is something that, you know, I aspire from.
07:58And I want to, these are the qualities that I want to take from him.
08:03Captain Rohit Bhai, after you said that you have experienced a team
08:08in Memphis, the team has been living in this World Cup.
08:12Now, you are running into the next World Cup.
08:14And you need to take a lot of those players
08:16that are having a lot of those players
08:19that you are looking for.
08:20Are you looking for the World Cup?
08:24Yes, sir.
08:25I think they have a lot of experience and I think they have a lot of matches in India.
08:30There are very few players who have a lot of matches in India.
08:34And they have a lot of skill and quality.
08:38And with this experience there are a lot of skill and quality.
08:42I think there are a lot of players in the world who have a lot of skill, quality and experience.
08:47So we are absolutely looking at that.
08:50Shukran, you spoke about this need to build a pool of fast bowlers.
08:56And you are also trying to take advantage of the opportunity to play him.
09:01Is there a lot of players in this test match or going forward in this season in India?
09:09Sir, if there would be opportunity for him definitely we would be looking to play him.
09:15As of now we want to play our strongest level.
09:18Because you know WTC is something you have to win.
09:23I think almost 70% of your matches to be able to secure a spot to be able to play the finals.
09:29So depending on where we are on the table this is still early stages.
09:33So we want to play the best 11 possible and we want to play the best team that's available for us in the sport.
09:40No sir, not really. I just think about what's the best possible option for us in the sport.
09:47Like even in the second innings when I give after lunch when I give the ball to Bumbra and Siraj.
09:52I thought the ball might reverse a little bit.
09:55Going just after lunch. It's an easy option to start the second innings.
10:00And then let's see, you know obviously the spinners are going to get us out.
10:04But I just wanted to know, you know there could be a situation in the second match where the ball is going to get us out.
10:11And there isn't much happening from the wicket. So how do you get wickets from that situation? What would be our plans?
10:19You know there could be a situation in the second match where the ball is reversing and there isn't much happening from the wicket.
10:25So how do you get wickets from that situation? What would be our plans?
10:30Playing against Western East here or playing against South Africa where the ball maybe we are fielding first on day one and the ball isn't spinning that much.
10:50So I see how you can build your plans if the situation is not with you.
10:59And also what is the best balling option on that given day or on that given condition.
11:06So I think if you ask this question to some of my teammates, they would be able to understand better.
11:07Because from my perspective, I think I am just doing the best balling option on that given day one.
11:08So I think if you ask this question to some of my teammates, they would be able to understand better.
11:13Because from my perspective, I think I am just doing what I think is best for the team.
11:14So I don't know how to answer your question.
11:15If you ask from my teammates, they would be able to understand better.
11:20Final 3 questions.
11:21I think if you ask this question to some of my teammates they would be they would be able
11:31to answer it better because from my perspective I think I'm just doing what I think is best
11:38for the team so I don't know how to answer your question if you ask from my teammates
11:42they would be able to answer it better.
11:44I don't really think he's got a lean run he got one inning in the first match in Oval he
12:11played the crucial innings of 40 runs on that wicket where the ball was streaming the match
12:16before that he scored a 50 in Manchester you have to you know you can't not every match
12:22everyone is going to score 100 you have to give young players more opportunities to
12:27they are still trying to figure out their game and I we believe that you have to you
12:33have to see someone's first potential and then see their game in the entirety not
12:37just judge someone from one two three four matches once you have given someone enough
12:42matches six seven eight matches then you can sit back and you know have a think over
12:46it where where he needs to learn or if he needs to you know play some more domestic
12:51matches or play some more India games but as of now you know we we think he is the
12:57man for us and he can be someone that can play for India at number three for a very long time.
13:04Sir I think it's my ICC decision that it should be a tutor or not but I feel as a as a
13:11as a joby cricketing nation joby cricket khailtah agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar
13:18agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar agar ag
13:48The test teams are very good, it's a natural thing that one day or T20 team will do better.
13:55I don't know, there are players' focus on T20 and in the leagues,
14:01so when you focus on that, the base of the game starts,
14:05when you forget it, I think the struggle starts from any country.
14:09So our conscious effort is the same,
14:12that if you are in any country or team,
14:15if you are in any team, if you are doing good in test format,
14:18then the natural thing is that ODI and T20 automatically,
14:21if you are a good team,
14:23if you are a good base,
14:25then you have a good option, a good place.
14:45I think the team dinners, I think the team dinners,
14:48I think the team dinners,
14:49when you go to any tour,
14:51so the players are very busy,
14:53their families are very busy,
14:55their families are on the ground,
14:58we have a lot of time spent on the ground,
15:00but there are a lot of conversations with cricket,
