NEW DELHI: India batter Shubman Gill responded to Pat Cummins after the Australian skipper talked about his approach of using the short ball tactic that had brought them success in Adelaide.
“Yeah, potentially. It worked out in the Adelaide Test. It’s always in the back of your mind as a bit of a plan B,” Cummins told the media in his pre-match press meet.

“If it’s something really uncomfortable, you’re likely to take a look at it and come to a plan A. It worked in Adelaide, so I’m sure we’ll give it a shot at some point (in the third Test),” he added.

Is India’s batting now over dependent on Yashasvi Jaiswal?

However, Gill brushed off Cummins’ suggestion and questioned its effectiveness against top-order players like himself. He remains unfazed and confident in his ability to handle such tactics.
“I think they got one tail-ender and another (lower middle order) batter out with short ball. So, I am actually not aware what success he is talking about,” Gill said.

How can India still qualify for World Test Championship final?

Gill admitted that the fall of wickets at the other end affected his game in the Adelaide Test but expressed confidence that the Indian batting group would deliver a stronger first-innings effort in what is now effectively a three-match series.
Gill didn’t play the first Test due to a finger injury but looked good in his brief innings of 31 and 28 during the pink ball Test at Adelaide which India lost by 10 wickets.
“As a batting group, we are looking to post a big total first up. That’s been the key discussion and every batter has his own game plan,” Gill said.
