NEW DELHI: The last time India played a Test at the Gabba, Shubman Gill made 91 in the second innings as the Ajinkya Rahane-led team chased down a 328-run target with Rishabh Pant hitting an unbeaten 89.
That was Gill’s third Test and since then he has more than cemented his place in the Indian playing XI, preferably at the number three spot.

How can India still qualify for World Test Championship final?

Addressing the pre-match press conference on Friday on the eve of the third Test in Brisbane, Gill said that he felt very nostalgic when he and his teammates came to the venue again after 2021.
Regarding the wicket, Gill said that the Indians will get to know once they play, adding that it looked like a good wicket.
India crashed to a 10-wicket defeat as Australia bounced back to win the pink-ball Test in Adelaide and level the five-match series 1-1 in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy series.
When asked about the pink ball, Gill said, “Pink ball is different. It’s a little harder. We are more used to red balls. The dynamic of it, playing at night is a little hard to gauge seam and hand position at night.”
Laying emphasis on mental fitness, Gill said, “I think the intensity with which games are played here is what makes it challenging. The mental intensity and fitness that’s required here. Conditions are challenging but I think 35 overs till the second new ball it gets easier to bat.”
On the series level at 1-1 and India playing a pivotal Test at the Gabba, Gill said, “You’ll be afraid if you have not won. We have won last time and even in India. This generation doesn’t think about who’s bowling and just look at the ball.”
