Shubman Gill Statement on Winning Mumbai test: The last match of the three-match Test series between India and New Zealand is being organized at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. In this match, New Zealand had achieved a lead of 143 runs by the end of the second day's play. Looking at the Wankhede pitch, it would not be wrong to say that the visiting team is in a very good position. But Shubman Gill feels that Team India can win this match by making a good partnership.
Shubman Gill reacted on winning Wankhede Test
In fact, in the history of Test cricket, a target of more than 150 has been chased only once at Wankhede. Batting in the fourth innings at this venue is not at all easy. However, Gill is confident that the Men in Blue are contenders to win this match. He said, 'It just takes a good partnership. When you are chasing a score of around 150-160 and if you get a good partnership of 70-80 runs, then the match is over.
Gill further said that the only thing that will happen between the batsmen is to form a good partnership. When you are chasing 150 runs and there is a partnership of 70-80 runs, the body language of the opposition team also changes.
It will not be easy to achieve a target of around 150- Ravichandran Ashwin
Ravichandran Ashwin admitted that it will not be easy to achieve the target of around 150 runs at this venue. He said,
We should register a win by scoring one or two runs here and there. Every run saved in this innings will be of great importance for us. It is not going to be easy and we will have to bat really well. I expected a lot of bounce and pace from this Mumbai pitch. It's been quite slow, which is surprising to me. This is not a common pitch in Mumbai.
It is noteworthy that the New Zealand team has already achieved an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series. Team India is now trying to save its reputation by winning the third test.
