\u201cNo, I wasn\u2019t thinking about my century. I was focused on the field placements and played my shots accordingly. I wanted to dominate the bowler, and I would have played the same shot even if I was in my 60s,\u201d said Gill to Disney+ Hotstar.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
He also shared his thoughts on adjusting to batting at number three after playing all the time as an opener. \u201cI play at No. 3 in Tests, so it wasn\u2019t a big adjustment. It\u2019s always a challenge at that position because you have to adapt to the game situation. If the team loses quick wickets, you need to play sensibly. If the team starts well, you need to carry the momentum. My approach was simple\u2014play according to the situation.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Talking about his partnership with Shreyas Iyer, who made 59, Gill said, \u201cWe lost two early wickets, but the plan was to play according to the field and not hold back. After a few overs, the line and lengths became predictable, which helped us score faster.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Asked about younger Indian batters frequently using the sweep and reverse sweep against spinners, Gill said, \u201cIt\u2019s an individual choice, not a team strategy. Every batsman has a plan to target specific areas. Many players are practicing sweeps and reverse sweeps in the nets to have more options while batting.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
