Gill and Gambhir’s press conference
Gill said when there is no Virat-Rohit- Pressure is on every tour. There is a pressure of victory. Two big players who had been playing for a long time have won so many matches. It is very difficult to fill their place. There is no separate pressure. All the players know how to win in pressure. We are confident from what we are going to batting and bowling combinations in our team.
Gautam Gambhir: Another tour is the opportunity to do good for the country. We have quality players. We want to do something special.
Shubman Gill spoke on captaincy: When I came to know that I am going to captain the test, I felt very good. This is a big challenge. We have time, a 10 -day camp is in London. The batting order will be decided accordingly.
Gill on Team India’s bowling: Our pace is good. Our pacer has the power to win matches from anywhere. All the matches that Bumrah plays will do well. It is difficult to replace Bumrah. But we have a quality bowler.
Gambhir said on Bumrah’s playing: We have not talked about which three matches Bumrah will play. This will be according to the series.
