At the pre-match press conference, Shubman Gill spoke at length about India's plans for the opening Test, including the importance of preparation, the development of newcomers and the role he expects from the lower order. His comments have offered a clearer picture of India's likely combination for the series opener.
“Manav (Suthar) has great skills in bowling and he can develop into a very good No. 8 batsman,” Gill said, as quoted by RevSportz.
“It would be a very tough decision to pick between Gurnoor (Brar) and Prasidh (Krishna),” Gill said.
“Gurnoor is excellent the way he can extract bounce with the old ball. Prasidh of late has been bowling the best I've seen him bowl,” Gill added.
“I am comfortable in my role as captain now” - Shubman Gill
“I am comfortable in my role as captain now. Our goal is to stay in contention for berth in World Test Championship final. We need to win 6 or 7 Tests for that so we want to make a beginning here,” Gill said, as quoted by PTI.
“If schedule allows us, it's always good to have a longer preparation time for Tests to adapt to the demands,” he said.
“Players are going to grow on their own. We need to give time to them, some players require a bit of time,” Gill said.
“Leading my country in the 600th Test is an honour” - Shubman Gill
“Leading my country in the 600th Test is an honour and doing so on Independence Day is an even bigger honour,” Gill said.
“Runs from the bowlers, especially in the first innings, are important,” Gill said. "Here in Galle, it's a bit similar to playing in Mumbai in terms of bounce,” he added.
Rishabh Pant is expected to take the wicketkeeping duties, with Dhruv Jurel in contention as a specialist batter. Jadeja and Suthar are set to provide the all-round options, while Kuldeep would add another spin threat. At the pace-bowling end, Gill's comments suggest Prasidh Krishna could get the nod alongside Mohammed Siraj, although the final call will be confirmed at the toss.
