"He's enjoying the game a lot more": Shubman Gill on Virat Kohli
Gill said (as quoted by Cricbuzz), "When I got out, I thought I should have finished it. But, it was a very satisfied innings. Probably the drive off the front foot (vs Alzarri) was my favourite. (On Kuldeep) Someone like him, if he's bowling, he's a wicket-taker. We were on the back foot, he got us back in the game and got us crucial wickets."
He added, "(On Kohli's batting) He's batting superbly, he's enjoying the game a lot more. He's playing with freedom. He always has the game to clear the boundary. He's won so many matches for the country, you want him to play however he wants to. We would want an 8th batting option who can contribute 25-odd runs. We are open to trying different combinations."
