"We were put under pressure"- Team India batter Shubman Gill after hard-fought win in 4th Test vs England
Speaking after the conclusion of the fourth Test, Shubman Gill claimed that their batting unit was under pressure in the chase after the middle-order collapse. He said that remaining patient and concentrating on rotating the strike helped them overcome the situation and reach home safely. Shubman Gill said:
"We were put under pressure but I think we had a good start by our openers. You have to see the situation and play accordingly sometimes. Their bowlers bowled good lines and protected the boundaries well. On a wicket like this, we have to be patient and take the singles. When they give any lose deliveries, try to pounce on that."
