Left-Right Combination Helps - Shubman Gill On Batting With Sai Sudharsan
The GT skipper spoke to Jio Hotstar and opened up on batting alongside the southpaw. He said how they love to outsmart the opposition when batting together.
"I think the way we bat is not exactly similar, but the left-right combination helps. We both run very well between the wickets, and we're the kind of players who like to outsmart the opponent, including the bowlers," Gill said on the episode of JioHotstar's Gen Bold.
"In T20 cricket, especially with the introduction of the Impact Player rule, that skill of outsmarting the opposition has declined a bit. But I think our team still does it well. It's easy to swing freely on good cement wickets, but real skill lies in reading conditions, assessing the situation, and consistently putting up fighting totals - that, I believe, is the key to our success," he added.
Gill also looked back on GT's successful season so far saying it is the collective contribution of the players that helped them qualify for the playoffs.
"I think it's been a collective performance. The way everyone is coming together and contributing in all aspects - that's something we've done well over the first three years, and I think that's what has continued this season" Gill said.
